Description

Pizza del Campo and the Palazzo Pubblico at right, which dates from 1297. Siena is famous for the Palio, which is held twice yearly, on 2 July and 16 August, and is generally considered Italy's most spectacular festival. It is a bareback horse race around the Campo that lasts barely a minute but is preceded by pomp and medieval pageantry. The race dates back to the 11th century, is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was originally run through the city's streets. This picture was taken in July 1997 and later scanned. Thank you for viewing, commenting, and fav, Sig...

stares * Wow. What a great view! It's fascinating to think about a building that's over 700 years old, to speculate about the construction of the town, piece by piece, the people who lived there ... I can't look at something like this without getting caught up in history. Fabulous image!
