Palio, Palio and more Palio!

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..

                                                                            Next day:
