Siena - a very nice small city with a large "campo" where once a year the various sections of the city enter a horse and jockey into a horse race. The rules are Italian style. As Nick tells me - in Germany the rules are the rules, in Austria the rules are suggestions and in Italy the rules are a joke. Often neighborhoods will gang up on other neighborhoods - and basically whatever horse crosses the finish line first wins - whether or not there is still a jockey. This is a picture of their Duomo and campanille - or cathedral and bell tower.
