The Carrocio Palio di Siena is a significant cultural and historical event that reflects Siena's medieval heritage and its deep-rooted traditions. Held twice a year in July and August, the Palio features a horse race around the Piazza del Campo, where rival contrade (districts) compete for glory. It symbolizes local identity and community spirit, fostering a sense of pride among Sienese citizens. The event also showcases elaborate costumes, rituals, and the unique artistic heritage of the city, making it a vital aspect of Sienese cultural life.
