Sep 12, 2014susanlovesbooks rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
If you love Tuscany and all of its glorious food and wine, plus horse racing and humor you will enjoy this true tale of an American who becomes entranced with the people of Siena and their famous horse race, the Palio. Over a series of seven visits, Robert attempts to immerse himself into the culture, politics, and traditions of the Palio. Along the way he learns about himself, the value of a strong community, and the depth of traditions among the contrade (neighborhoods) in Siena.
