The day of the Palio (July 2 and August 16) the city awakens early. It knows that a special day has dawned where, on an organizational level, everything has to run like clockwork because Siena must be prepared for a genuine assault on the part of a wide array of individuals, from lovers of the Palio to curious and inexpert pilgrims; from tourists who, between their trips to Florence and Venice, have tried to squeeze in, just for this one day, a short side-trip to Siena just to . . . take a look at these Sienese and this crazy Festival of theirs which - who knows why - has the whole world talking. Obviously this type of admirer is not particularly welcome since he or she does not have the capability of approximating even a credible image of the Palio and of the Contrade.
