Alessandro Falassi
Palio
Italy: Monte dei Paschi di Siena, 1982.
First printing.
With an essay by Giovanni Cecchini and stunning photographs by Pepi Merisio, this is the ultimate tribute to the legendary Sienese tradition of The Palio.
A ritual race around the main square, bitterly contested among the 17 districts of the city, this gorgeous medieval pageant has been the center of the city's pride for over a thousand years.
Just the costumes are enough to inspire for the next millennium.
