We are here now. On Monday evening, at 19:30, the mortar will announce the entrance to Piazza del Campo with jockeys and horses for the Palio della Madonna di Provenzano. Thanks to the friend and colleague Sienese Eleonora Mainò, we live the expectation of this career.
It is said that against the Palio we are not going. And that is a fact, history teaches. Even harder to go with a lot of horses like that.
The situation remains unchanged, the same couple of 29, difficult to say who grows up, it is still early, some Contrade may be able to find squared on 2; Meanwhile, the tests are done, the long-awaited enemies begin to give more emotion to a Palio who, after the beating of the mountain waltz, has become very flattened. The crucial point remains a large part of the ten, the fantasy game on the ten subjects is difficult if not impossible, the work of the stables is seen by the various tricks that everyone tries, sign that we must further study the subject. adaptability of the horses, proving that the training is necessary but the Piazza is different, not only for the field. Mbadimo Biliorsi, Sienese, a journalist but especially an extraordinary storyteller from Siena and his traditions, came out these days with a book "riding a fairy tale", a book in which he traces the events of 17 dream horses, one for Contrada, the one In parallel with this publication, it is spontaneous to comment on the bitterness of the way in which the Sienese who have now twenty years in a few decades will not be able to produce anything, they will not have a horse. of story to tell.
We are in a "mangiacavalli" era where new insertions seem to be non-constructive, that is to say, not designed to gradually bring a lot of horses into the majority of both experiences but also in quality. It is said that the veterinary team has submitted to Captains 'choice on the 33 topics presented every' Entrone 29 morning 20 horses on which to train the lot. Another fact that makes us understand how, in a certain way, it will be a Palio "border", a Palio which is from which to start a new approach on everything since the Protocol.
On the Palio will take place Monday afternoon the hypotheses are many, certainly the couples who give now more confidence are the giraffe (Scompiglio su Solo Tue Due), the goose (Tittia on Porto Alabe, on the photo) and Nicchio (Trecciolino su Tabacco). 19659004] Giovanni Atzeni had declared that he needed the good horse to return to victory, fate gave him the most expert horse of the lot, in a Contrada, the Goose in which the return of Tittia was taken for granted since the winter
Then the Nicchio (next picture), over the years the record of Gigi Bruschelli weighed on all Palio, the tobacco is a young horse but physically it seems cut for the shell, on the contrary to an adversary whom, we saw in the test last night, a determined jockey rises not to leave large margins to the aspirations of Trecciolino; a particular case that of Gingillo in this Palio, where on the 29th afternoon he finally seemed destined to mount the bomb of the lot to Giraffa and after a few hours he found himself facing Gigi Bruschelli
Finally Bartoletti (next picture), again favorite, back in a situation where he has nothing to lose, little to fear, a quality horse and a parterre of opponents only for the many enemies on the ground and on the outside could bet on the Giraffe jacket. Bartoletti, however, always and always corrected on his neighbors from Mount Contrade, this time perhaps that he pushed a little further, forcing his hand on 29 afternoons; in addition, he will have (if they want to notice his rivals) a bunch of colleagues who, perhaps, for once, will try to be more ready and more compact in case he still tries to s & # 39; 39; escape.
we will find our way along the road indicated by the star of the Palio and against which we can hardly go
