And what was the outcome? 
OCA with newcomer Diodoro, ridden by Tittia, who clinched his 11th victory in the Piazza.


And tonight the ESTRAZIONE: the lottery which establishes what contradas will run on the 16th of August... The Piazza will be filled to the brim with hopefuls...including us at ONDA..

                                                           ONDA will run the August Palio!
