Data: 08.04.2009 THE PALIO IN SIENAfrom 29 June until 2 JuliPiazza del Campo is still used today for the well known Palio horse race which is one of the most famous popular Italian manifestations. It takes place every year on July 2 and August 16. The Palio is run to celebrate the miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary near the old houses that belonged to Provenzano Salvani. The holy apparition was therefore called "Madonna di Provenzano" in whose honour the very first Palio was run on August 16, 1656. The Palio was run for the first time in 1701 in honour of the "Madonna dell'Assunta" the patroness and Advocate of Siena through all the tragic events since she protected the Sienese militia at the famous battle of Monteaperti on September 4, 1260, against the Florentines. This traditional popular manifestation lasts four days (from June 29 to July 2 and from August 13 to 16) and finishes in the streets of the victorious "Contrada" where the people celebrate the happy event in a most joyous way. Winner pays all. Data: 25.06.2008 Guided visit to Palzzo Chigi Saracini in SienaChristmas openingThe Palazzo Chigi Saracini, whose unmistakable form dominates the Via di Città in Siena, contains within its splendid halls a vast and important collection of works of art. They were gathered over the centuries, particularly between the 18th and 19th centuries by Galgano Saracini, a well-to-do enthusiast belonging to the Sienese family, from whom the Chigi descendants inherited the property at the end of the 19th century. The collection contains works by artists belonging to all of the important periods of Italian painting, especially the Sienese school: from the "primitives" of the 13th century to the "purists" of the 19th century. The names of Sassetta, Sano di Pietro, Botticelli, Sodoma, Beccafumi, Manetti, Vanni, Rosa, Cassioli, Maccari and others stand out in particular. There is also a large number of sculptures and of objects typically collected by aristocrats, such as ivories, porcelain, chinoiserie, silver, etc. Of particular importance is a large collection of ceramics from the most important Italian schools from the 16th to the18th centuries.
