Palio di Siena, great anticipation, tomorrow 6 rivals on the tuff – Tuscany


Out of 10 districts, those rivals will be the majority in the Mossa


(ANSA) – SIENA, 15 FA – Strong expectation in Siena for tomorrow’s Palio which promises to be sparkling just like that sequin banner, made by Andrea Anastasio, who is competing for the 10 districts on the tuff of Piazza del Campo.

In fact, to ignite tension and strategies, and also the ‘parties’, that is the negotiations between the districts, will be six rivals to the canapi della Mossa, namely Nicchio and Valdimontone, Leocorno and Civetta, Chiocciola and Tartuca, ‘enemy’ districts that have no only the goal of winning but also that of not letting the rival win. However, it will be the Palio of returning to normal after the career of last July 2, where the race was reduced to the participation of only six districts. Furthermore, he returns to the verrocchio of the mossiere Bartolo Ambrosion after the controversy surrounding the management of the move by Renato Bircolotti, criticisms that have also overwhelmed the district captains on the choices of horses.

Not only that: after the many beginners in the career dedicated to the Madonna of Provenzano, tomorrow there will be seven barberi, horses, with at least one Palio behind them on the tuff. Two of them, Remorex in Tartuca and Zio Frac in Nicchio, who can boast at least one victory. The eyes of the square will be focused above all on Giovanni Atzeni known as Tittia, victorious jockey in July in the Dragon and tomorrow with the Leocorno jacket, and on the jockey Jonathan Bartoletti known as Scompiglio in the Snail. Once again Luigi Bruschelli, known as Trecciolino, will be absent, who risks seeing the dream of equaling the record of 14 won Palios held by the historic jockey Aceto, aka Andrea de Gortes, forever vanished. He hoped to be able to make his debut instead Michel Putzu, but the fall at the curve of the family in Sunday’s test was fatal. For this reason the leaders of the Giraffa replaced him with Federico Guglielmi, also a rookie. (HANDLE).
