[Article] Palio di Siena: Medieval Tradition Brought to Life

If you want to understand Siena and its people, you should attend the Palio at least once in your life. The Palio of Siena is a basically a twice yearly horse race during which the usual nightlife trinity of sex, drugs, and rock and roll is replaced by wine, drugs for the horses, and medieval songs.
