Narrated by Robert Hardy
The film is the story of Violante, governor of Siena for 14 years, who invented the Palio, a crazy horse race, hoping it would channel the passions of the Sienese away from political plots.
Two centuries later each city district enters its own horse, and ancient rivalry between districts remains as bitter as ever.
