Siena
With its striking medieval cityscape, Siena is famous for its cuisine, art, museums and the Palio - a twice-a-year horse race conducted in the city's main square with 15th-century costumes and great festivity. The Palio is held on July 2nd and on August 16th. Before the race, the bareback riders and horses parade through the street, ending at the Piazzo del Campo which echoes to the sound of people cheering watching the always-exciting race. Symbols of the Palio are in evidence throughout the city, throughout the year. Siena is also famous for jazz, with a festival that begins in June and extends into July.
