Overview
To encounter the Palio di Siena is to witness a rare continuity of history, where medieval pageantry remains a vital, breathing testament to identity. This curated experience offers a passage beyond the public spectacle, guided by a distinguished historian and Contradaiolo into the sacred intimacy of the Contrade, their chapels, rituals, and guarded narratives.
From the drum-filled streets to a private palazzo overlooking the Campo, you witness the pageantry and raw passion not as a spectator, but as a guest. It is an immersion into the living heart of Siena, where heritage is not remembered, but fervently lived.
This is an immersion in authentic passion, a profound dialogue with the living soul of Siena.
A profound immersion into a thousand-year-old ceremony. A moment of true belonging.
