Siena's horse race around its central square, Piazza del Campo, is one of Italy's most famous palio festivals. Run two times, in July and August, this exciting race is a contest to see which contrada, or Siena neighborhood, will come out victorious to win the palio. These beautiful Siena Palio Photos (used by permission) were taken at the the Palio of Siena by Joe Bauwens and Marybeth Flower, photographers who created the book Piazza, Italy's Heart and Soul.
