Stepping back in time at the Palio di Siena. 🇮🇹
More than a horse race, this is the soul of Siena. Since the 1600s, the city’s 17 Contrade (districts) have competed in this intense, historic challenge twice every summer: July 2nd and August 16th.
Standing in the Piazza del Campo, you don’t just watch history—you feel it. The energy, the pageantry, and the fierce pride of the Sienese people are truly unforgettable.
Have you ever experienced a tradition this deeply rooted?
Siena, you gave me everything but the race—and I loved every minute of it. ☔️🇮🇹 Even though the weather had other plans, it was still an incredible experience and I’ll never forget it. Looking forward to seeing it again with my friend Anja on July 2nd. 🇮🇹❤️

Not all gelato is created equal! 🍦 Stop settling for the neon-colored, piled-high stuff and start eating like a local. It’s better to eat gelato artigianale in Italy. 🇮🇹✨
