Palio, the wait is over. The day of truth. Tensions and uncertainties – Chronicle

Siena, July 2, 2018 – We woke up with the Sunto toll, we will fall asleep with the public palace glow at the end of the battle. In the middle of waiting, tension, hope, deep breaths, screams, delusions and disappointments. A people who are celebrating, some one of satisfied then those who will dispel the meditating deception on defeat, looking forward and planning the revenge that Siena and her Palio sometimes grant, but without generosity. It is the cruel but beautiful law that rules the age-old challenge of the tuff. At sunset, another page of our history will have been written. The & # 39; and the & # 39; ma & # 39; will no longer count and as in the Highlander Law there will be only one left.

Everything seems now far away. There is one day to dream of the perfect career, the worthy conclusion of four days of pleasure and tension . Few certainties, huge doubts, because it is true that each Palio is in its own way full of unknowns, what we will live maybe beats them all.

In the infernal cauldron the six rivals must be put on the tuff, the many novice horses and especially the blindfolded goddess capable of spilling everything up immediately after the release of Entrone 19 and 30. L & # 39; envelope with alignment will take your breath away from the square on the way from the Palco dei Capitani to Verrocchi, even more than the Magnier will start reading the penultimate sentence of this career in Provenzano. And here, the Palio, there is a prelude to what will happen later. After the extraction at the end of May and the June 29 award, fate will again show his mocking and mocking smile.

In the meantime, ten people are waiting with hope and confidence. Surely the Chiocciola who has in the stable the powerful Renalzos and the emerging Turbine. There is an eager people, a fast to break and so much determination. Of course, the obstacles are not lacking with the rival Tartuca whose only mission is to cross the opponent and victory. It will be a very hot duel and if the blindfolded goddess puts one of the two pursuits, everything will be played from a distance, with coldness and cunning, waiting for the right moment. The same speech can be done even if with different modalities for the other two pairs of opponents. Nicchio goes on a hunt for victory with Trecciolino and a rookie but listed horse, but on the other side of the "barricade" on Valdimontone where Gingillo did not go to. not the smile of the sneer but the grain of who wants to return to success. Be careful of one for the other and vice versa but it will be the crossings of the Palio to set the modes of engagement. A little how it will happen for Lupa and Istrice . Definitely more "scorer" the Vallerozzi jockey, but when the game is difficult, surely Salbado is not called. There is a challenge of the highest motivations to play, with two horses, however, beginners, where everyone will try to sneak in without losing sight of the rival. On the other hand, the Oca is unmarked, with the highest-rated combination of the lot. Tittia can make the most of it with a reliable horse who really wants to get back to success. It's a bit like the story of Brio in Drago where the rookie but mighty Rocco Nice tickles the fantasies of a very concentrated Husband. The trio of the "five victories" of the lords complete Scompiglio in Giraffa another important factor in this Palio. Much will depend on the position at the canape and hence the early shooting, but the big three must not forget Brigante and Leocorno . The winner of the last August career is becoming the "super jockey" with the ability and ambition to burn the stages. The four pairs "without plates" if they play tied.

Wake up Siena and invade your streets with enthusiasm. It is the longest, most exciting and most lively day of the year.
