Divine Guidance in Siena
By Linda Tancs
The avid horse player is likely to pray at the betting window to break even. In Siena, Italy, divine guidance is a central part of the race during Il Palio, the signature horse race taking place in the city each year on 2 July and 16 August. Today’s event honors Madonna of Provenzano; on 16 August the competition honors the ascension of the Virgin Mary into Heaven.
