Contrada Life, the historic center of Siena.
00:00:00
Siena in Tuscany in central Italy was a rich medieval city-state
00:00:07
with a thriving finance industry.
00:00:11
It is known for its main central square, the Piazza del Campo,
00:00:17
which is fan-shaped or shell-shaped and lined with rows of medieval houses.
00:00:21
The city is divided into 17 districts called Contrada.
00:00:27
Each has its own church and community hall.
00:00:33
The Contrada local communities date back to the medieval period.
00:00:39
Community members are closely bound and compete against rival communities.
00:00:44
Each Contrada is identified by an emblem.
00:00:51
This is the Tower Contrada.
00:00:57
Today they are carrying out a secular baptism ceremony
00:00:59
to accept babies as members.
00:01:02
Here they are hosting a large dinner party
00:01:06
with residents and former residents of the Contrada.
00:01:08
It is part of their celebrations on the night before a very important event.
00:01:11
On the following day, Piazza del Campo is filled with 75,000 spectators.
00:01:16
An intercontrada called the Palio, a horse race, will take place.
00:01:22
The Palio started in the 17th century and continues to this day.
00:01:28
People compete against each other for the communal pride of their Contrada.
00:01:34
Having run three times around the square,
00:01:42
the caterpillar horse is leading the pack and finishes.
00:01:44
The winner only gets a banner as a prize.
00:01:49
But the banner brings great honour to the Contrada people who win.
00:01:56
Each Contrada has its own patron saint.
00:02:03

00:02:06
and then community representatives are invited to participate.
