Siena on 35mm film
Siena, with its medieval streets and stunning cathedral, transports visitors back in time. The city is divided into 17 contradas, or districts, each with its own distinct identity and symbol (you might see their flags with their distinct crests). The contradas are not just administrative divisions; they are a way of life for the Sienese people. Families often belong to a contrada for generations, and loyalty to one's contrada is deeply ingrained.
The heart of Siena is the Piazza del Campo, a sloping square that hosts the biannual Palio di Siena horse race. This is not just a sporting event but a manifestation of civic pride and contrada rivalries. The contradas compete fiercely for the honor of winning the Palio, a colorful banner that becomes a symbol of supremacy until the next race.
The contradas also play a significant role in the daily life of Siena. Each contrada has its own parish church, social club, and gathering spaces, and they are in charge of taking care of their neighboorhood, entertaining their children with fun activities and participating in festivals and events organized by the contradas, all of which contribute to the vibrant cultural tapestry of the city.
