Palio di Siena: The Palio of the Contrade di Siena (districts of Siena) is the most famous, the most beautiful, and the most deeply felt of all of Italy’s popular events. Whoever should decide to participate as a spectator of the Palio, will find themselves attending a fascinating performance, at a historic-cultural exhumation that culminates in an unbridled horse race in which the pride and burning spirit of competition of the Districts is realized. The land of Sienna offers its visitors a varied and splendid landscape, especially for lovers of the bright autumn colours and the green rows of Chianti grapes. Naturally we cannot forget the wine production of this zone, where we can taste in addition to the famous Chianti from the Siena hillsides, as well as Rosso di Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino and Vernaccia di San Gimignano. In Siena and its outskirts, in the restaurants and trattorias one can taste typical dishes based on game such as lentil soup with pheasants, frog soup, crostini with chicken giblets, spleen and game, Siena bean soup, ribollita, pasta and chickpeas, sweet-and-sour hare and wild-boar, and uccelletto beans
