Experience the magic of the Palio from atop a medieval tower! Our host will open the doors of his family's 13th-century palace and up, up, up we will go until we're right over the mossa (starting ropes) with an incredible view of the entire Piazza del Campo! Watch as thousands of people enter the square, signing in praise of their Contrada and disparaging their rival, then find out horses Fate has assigned to each Contrada and see what you make of everyone's chances.
