Lucky we that have a possibility to participate in another great day for Siena! Palio di Siena del 16 agosto 2014!
After very difficult entrance on Piazza del Campo and joining huge crowd of people we knew very well that the great event is coming!
And everyone on Piazza del Campo also knew it that everyone of us was a witness of a great race, great rivalry, great excitement, great victory and great joy and fun. So what we could want more . . . !
Yesterday was a day of an amazing triumph of the hero – il fantino Andrea Mari and Contrada del CIVETTA that won Palio di Siena del 16 agosto 2014 and got an original Drappellone made by Ivan Dimitrov (dedicated to the Tuscan poet Mario Luzi)!
From your E-mails I know that some of you have been yesterday in SIENA. I hope you had a priceless day and you got some unforgettable memories. And of course a big passion to come back to Siena soon!!
For all of you especially these that didn’t have chance to be in Siena some photos !
So see you next Palio! Unfortunately we have to wait long time again. . . but of course we will! Con piacere!
And as always greetings from very sunny and very happy Siena!
