Palio Film Released

A feature film documenting the extraordinary ‘Palio’ is due to be released in the UK on Friday, 25th of September 2015.  This exhilarating and historic horserace, which takes place in the magnificent Piazza del Campo in the centre of Siena, the best-preserved medieval city in Italy, dates back to 1644, and is one of the world’s oldest competitive events.  Take a look at the ‘Palio’ trailer below to give you a taste of this spectacular event.

ATG’s Siena and the Palio tour (27 June – 4 July) provides a fascinating ‘immersion experience’, with a week of language, culture, walking and sightseeing, participating in pre-race events and dinner, and culminating in viewing the Palio from a private palazzo window above the Campo – in style.  Throughout your stay you will be accommodated in ATG’s exclusive 8th century Tuscan retreat,  Pieve a Castello.  Please note the 2016 departure of this exclusive tour has only 6 places left.
