Italy Travel Update - Siena's Palio - Happening July 2nd

A quick update from Katy on the Palio di Siena, happening in Piazza del Campo this Thursday July 2. The race itself takes ninety seconds. The four days of build up around it are why people come.

Summary: Katy walks through what happens during the four days of the July Palio, including the daily trials, the Corteo Storico procession, the contrada street dinners, and what you need to know about getting a spot in the piazza if you want to be there for the race. She also suggests a smaller-town alternative for travelers who want similar medieval pageantry with fewer crowds, the Giostra del Saracino in Arezzo on Sunday September 6.

Listen to our longer epsiode abour Siena - Episode 205 - to learn more about this beloved Tuscan medieval city.
