Il Palio di Siena è molto più di una corsa di cavalli.
Due volte l'anno, Piazza del Campo diventa il cuore di uno dei riti popolari più intensi e riconoscibili d'Italia. Fede, competizione, memoria e appartenenza si intrecciano in una festa che coinvolge le Contrade e l'intera città .
Tra il Palio di Provenzano e quello dell'Assunta, questo volume accompagna il lettore nell'universo storico e culturale del Palio: dalle origini medievali alla nascita della Carriera alla tonda, dalla vita delle Contrade ai giorni che precedono la corsa, fino alla Mossa e ai tre giri sul tufo.
Il libro racconta il significato dei gesti, dei simboli e delle cerimonie che scandiscono la festa. Approfondisce il ruolo della devozione mariana, il Corteo Storico, la preparazione dei cavalli, le rivalità e il profondo rapporto che unisce il Palio alla comunità senese.
All'interno del volume:
- Le origini e l'evoluzione storica del Palio di Siena
- Le Contrade, i loro simboli e il senso dell'appartenenza
- La Madonna di Provenzano e la nascita del Palio d'agosto
- La Tratta, le prove, la segnatura, la Mossa e la Carriera
- Il Corteo Storico, le bandiere e i tamburi
- La Piazza del Campo e i luoghi della festa
- Rivalità , rituali, curiosità e memoria collettiva
Un viaggio nel cuore di Siena per comprendere il Palio oltre la corsa e scoprire una tradizione viva, custodita e tramandata di generazione in generazione.
