the word Siena reminds me of the bills of exchange of which the bank of Siena and the Cinta Senese were invented (so I have read somewhere), then the Palio. however I do not do text because I consider the traditions to be completely false. in their day they might have made sense now they survive for the municipal coffers (and I approve) not tytte the traditions are beautiful, for example in various countries of Europe there was the tradition of burning witches, beating Jews before Pascua and Christmas. The only good traditions are those of food (and not even because if we ate things cooked in ancient times we would die or vomit) beautiful video, music, horrible comments from the Sienese. Hello

Eh, it's a horse race that dates to the 1200s at least, and in the modern code since 1644; the contradas are the factions that made Tuscany, these people used to kill each other in violent brawls back in the days - only normal that the conception of what the race should be is quite different!

Racing in the uk isn’t JUST for money. It too has a rich history and has been around since the 1700s and even earlier. A lot of people adore racehorses, me included. I think it’s an accessible way to get to see horses in action. The money just means that people can make it their life work, so they can dedicate their lives to these horses rather than having to do it as a hobby only.

Actually, if they learn about it, and experience the emotions of it, people can gain a reasonable understanding, if not the full experience of living there all your life and being a contradiolo. Siena's palio is unique among all palii in Italy, but their emotions, loyalties, frailties, joy and sorrow are common to all humans. I think it should be celebrated not just for Siena, but as a window into our humanity for all people. As they say, the Palio is life. It's a living metaphor for life. I'm grateful that the Senesi take pains to maintain the tradition.

I am from Asti and we have a Palio as well (the oldest of all Italy). The Palio of Asti and the Siena one are very similar: the Siena one is probably more chaotic as there are way more people and the circuit isn’t regular and it takes place twice a year. Our Palio takes place only once a year and it is less chaotic, but the members are more, 21, both from the city and from town nearby. Palii exist all around the peninsula and they are all someway different, good luck to everyone with discovering ‘em all!

[@francescosantarelli1732]

ma che paragoni fai....il palio di SIENA con quello di ASTI.......già il luogo di gara .... PIAZZA DEL CAMPO.è clamorosa....60 mila in piazza......un altro mondo.......non esiste proprio nessun raffronto.....una cosa grande e una cosa piccola.....questo è.......

[@davidbrignolo9708]

@@francescosantarelli1732 Rileggi bene quello che ho scritto, ho fatto paragoni per individuare caratteristiche comuni e divergenti, non capisco di che parli. In ogni caso il nostro Palio è più antico, eppure è sempre stato nell’ombra di quello di Siena, mi sembra più che giusto mettere in risalto anche il nostro

[@Unsagittario]

Resta il fatto che il Palio di Asti è il più antico in assoluto...più ridotto di quello di Siena ma non da meno...anzi! Ma pensa te che presuntuosi!

[@davidbrignolo9708]

@@Unsagittario Appunto, ma senza nulla togliere a quello di Siena come a tutti gli altri, bisognerebbe valorizzarli tutti: Asti è quello più antico, quello con più partecipanti; Siena è quello più famoso, quello con la posizione più suggestiva; quello di Cavriana è uno dei più originali; quello di Alba è fatto per prendere in giro Asti e così via

[@Unsagittario]

@@davidbrignolo9708 Ma ovviamente...le tradizioni italiane sono belle per questo,anche se uguali si diversificano. Ma cazzarola sti toscani hanno un po' troppa prosopopea,spocchiosi...ma che calassero un attimo. Abbi pazienza ma non se ne può più.

Where could I find the songs sung in the street by those men, and what is the name of this powerful song?

Noi in Emilia non abbiamo cose del genere...peccato...sarebbe anche un modo per unirsi maggiormente e ricordarsi chi sei...ogni tanto lo dimentichiamo

Ma che dici.... il palio di ferrara esiste.... non e la stessa cosa ma ce....

[@ToscanaEuropa]

​@@andreasapio713 Tanti palii esistono (anche a Faenza il Palio del Niballo, no?) e secoli fa ne esistevano molti di piú, praticamente dappertutto (Goethe per esempio descrisse quello di Roma), ma non è questo il punto. Il Palio per antonomasia non è una corsa di cavalli: è identità locale, è una guerra civile sublimata, ed è un rito sacro pagano sotto apparenza cristiana. Il senese (e io lo sono) ha i brividi nella spina dorsale e suda freddo a mezz'agosto, quando è in piazza e vede il cavallo della sua contrada: il Palio è dentro di noi, non è un evento esterno organizzato da un' amministrazione comunale o, peggio ancora, da un' azienda per il turismo.

[@ToscanaEuropa]

«e ricordarsi chi sei...». Bravo, hai centrato il nòcciolo della questione: l' identità locale.

[@paolobonucci3327]

Unfortunately it is not correct to say "17 jockeys" because of course the Contrade are really 17, but only 10 of then play each Palio. It is a rather simple method, each palio has 7 Contrade which run for the right they have acquired not having run the previous year. Then 3 are chosen by chance in a Ceremony which takes place 4 weeks before the races of july 2nd and 16th of August. In the all, I like your video. P.B. from Siena

[@silverkitty2503]

oh my god they ride normal! not with short stirrups like jockeys i mean....bareback too!

[@OfficialMuffiin]

Bareback riding is bad for a horses back.

[@justjaguar2314]

Well, I mean... it's the tradition

[@Ezekiel903]

without saddle!!!

[@dieg]

Can anyone tell why there is only 10 contradas participating and not 17? Also what is the difference between July race and the august race?

[@sigCarLux]

Una citta' meravigliosa. La piu' bella del mondo? Forse no, ma ha senso chiederselo. La piu' grande rievocazione storica del mondo. Un rito collettivo che ha radici storiche e culturali profondissime. L'atmosfera che si respira a Siena nei giorni del Palio non e' descrivibile. L'atmosfera che si respira a Siena nei minuti precedenti la carriera non e' descrivibile, ma lascia un segno in chiunque abbia la fortuna di esserci. Proteggete di piu' i cavalli, per il bene della vostra meravigliosa citta' e di questa straordinaria tradizione. Perche' ogni tanto qualcosa di brutto succede, probabilmente per colpa dei soldi, e questo e' segno del fatto che di piu' puo' e quindi deve essere fatto.

[@johnwelch5434]

I'm surprised they've never corrected the errors in the title. (A) There are seventeen contradas but only ten get to put a horse in each race. (So there are not 'seventeen jockeys'.) (B) You don't 'win' a 'rivalry' (that's grammatically wrong.) Someone was having a bad day...
