Il Palio


I was supposed to be meeting with our MarCom folks in Siena to talk about their website, but they conveniently scheduled our meeting on the day of the Palio, which is a citywide holiday. Just about everything that doesn't sell food shuts down and all work stops to watch the horse race that will determine which Contrada will having bragging rights until the next race. So I didn't get any work done, but I did get to see some amazing horse races around the palazzo. I took a few pics and video'd the race off the tv when I got back to my room.
