Preceding the race, an enthralling historical procession of over 1200 participants in sumptuous period costumes and a series of important side events, from the propitiatory dinners on the eve of the race to the colorful Palio of the Flag-wavers. A great, adrenaline-filled tradition that will culminate in the exciting race of bareback horses to claim the glory and the coveted Standard, accompanied by the festive blaring of trumpets and the incessant waving of flags and banners, amidst the shouts of cheering crowds.
