FREE WEBINAR | "The Palio of Siena: A Whole lot more than a Horse Race"
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Twice a year, on July 2 and August 16, the Tuscan city of Siena transforms its central medieval square into an arena of unbridled fury. Ten bareback horses and their respective jockeys race three laps at breakneck speed around a dirt-covered piazza filled with fifty-thousand people! That is the Palio, and for the past 700 years, winning it has been the most important objective of all the people of Siena. Join Dr. Rocky for this free webinar where he will unpack the history, traditions, and meaning of this great event.

The webinar will include a 45-minute lecture followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.
