Ruth, you did capture it so well the Medieval tradition, my family (my father side of the family) every year participate, we also have our logo in the museum. POD!

Artist Reply: Thank you Teresa!! Were on holiday in Florence in March and visited Siena for a couple of days! It's a stunning city. Of course Il Palio happens in July and August but we went to the Piazza del Campo in the evening where there was a market in full swing. Even without the Palio there was a tremendous atmosphere. I have been interested in Il Palio for a long time and I am now working on a second painting of this subject. I have watched it on YouTube and it's so exciting. I Love the pageantry and the tradition of the processions and the flags. The colours of the riders and the roaring of the crowds. Molto eccitante!! I am in love with all things Italian. We have been to Rome, Florence, Pisa and Siena and we hope to visit Venice one day. I'm trying to learn Italian and watch a lot of Italian films with Alessandro Preziosi in them. Lol! Have a great weekend!XX
