    On of the most iconic event in the world - and a documentary worth watching
    Documentary about the iconic Palio of Sienna, a traditional and famous horse race on one of the most known squares of the world - Placa di Campo. But there is much more - history, tradition, inside of the unique Italian passion and mentality, as well as tension and even drama.

    For all of those who are interesting in the event, it is highly recommended, but also for those who know nothing about it. Participants at the event, both well-known legends of Palio, as well as the beginners in the race, bring us closer to the tradition, rules (and please note, there are almost none on one hand and a bunch of them on the other ;) in a relaxed but sometimes also passionate manner, with the culmination of the two races in 20??.

    What I lack is a little bit more of a background and in particular about the event customs itself. I find that a great documentary leaves you with good knowledge about the topic, and with Palio 2015 we miss that. On the other hand, it pushes me to look further, and therefore a mark of 7. And surely a recommendation!
