Bareback racing in Italy~

+Mutter Theresa dear friend, the palio is the palio and nothing else matter....I don't live in Siena but I but I completely understand the mentality that these people have in running the Palio for 600 years. the people which see one time this type of reality cannot understand and share everything in barbarism. you can not understand that a horse before coming to the square is born, grows and is bred and exclusively prepared for this for many years, in order to run and after a few years and a few rides goes to pasture or reproduction. the horses are not drugged and not abused and if are injured they are being treated at a special veterinary clinic that would not exist if the palio not exist. so i strongly suggest you before spitting judgments on an old tradition like palio, inquire about how it works. thanks PS: the Italian language will not be an international language but there are Italians who can write in english.

you are thinking every german is a nazi....first of all......i am half indian , a quarter slowenian and a quarter german......but i feel like a german!....every german is a nazi .....idiot......!!!! .my german grandmother was in a kz because she helped jewish people!!! whatever........every german is a nazi just the same as every muslim is a terrorist!   you have my empathy!!!!

+Mutter Theresa So people like you should be the last one to speak when it comes to torture and killing. People don't forget, people don't forgive.

yes...

+Mutter Theresa You German?

+marco aurelio ROFL fuck off!!!! "BEACH"!!! thats very funny!!!! ...you are so uneducated and stupid!!!! .....and italian is not the world language....thats a fact!!!!   i need to improve my english too.....so!......i was in rome,florence,venice,san gimignano,pisa,milano and in sienna......sienna was the nicest place because of the marketplace........but the palio is just brutal horse torture, nothing else, but the italians dont have such a big sense for animal rights !!even the spains improved animal rights! but in relation to china is italia nothing......a tradition to torture animals exists in china.....the chinese thinking that animals have no soul.........and they kill year for year millions of animals in the cruelties ways....... animals boiled alive ,skinned alive and whatever.......ist a nightmare!!!!

+Mutter Theresa you dont know italia..fuck off beach!

+marco aurelio you dont know english.....fuck off!!

+Mutter Theresa  ma vaffanculo!

Giudichi senza conoscere. Mi spiace ma del Palio non hai capito proprio niente.Vieni a vederlo a Siena, con tutta probabilità cambierai idea. Cerca sul sito internet cosa é il " protocollo equino" ,leggilo attentamente.The Palio is life.

+Chris Greenlee You might be right - but so what?A person does not need to have any religious faith to be cruel to animals - and having religious faith does not necessarily lead to cruelty. There is no causal link here.The Palio is not intended to cause harm to horses - it has deep roots very probably to do with social cohesion - a sort of medieval town championship. Harming horses is a secondary by-product of the contest not its raison d'etre.The greater cruelty is the habit of killing one another - the Palio might be a substitute for that. Your theory about Europeans and Caucasians is an interesting discussion point - but not for me. Your views have been noted.

+Richard Buxton There have been numerous traditions all throughout Europe's history that involve torturing or killing animals in a celebratory manner, partly facilitated by religious and superstitious beliefs that certain animals are evil. I haven't been able to find very many examples of this same pattern among other cultures. Other non-European cultures historically show a more conscientious view of animal life, often worshipping them as gods or spiritual kin. However some cultures, like many in Asia, do still maintain practices of cruelty to animals (mainly for more practical purposes like food) but not so much in the context of celebratory enjoyment as what we can still see today in Europe. I'm sorry but Europeans and Caucasians in general have an obvious propensity for sadism.

+Richard Buxton  truth but maybe kill people is worse...i think i dont understand your death penalty and you dont understand the Palio :)

+Fabio Longhi Fabio - racing horses around Siena's Piazza del Campo is one thing and executing criminals is another thing - entirely separate and unconnected from horse racing.You can not justify any alleged cruelty of the Palio on the basis of judicial execution somewhere else.Best to just accept that in America some criminals get a death sentence and in Siena some horses get badly injured - and we should get over it.

yes, about the way in your country you actually kill real human bean with deat penalty but off course the horse are more important

I think random cruelty to animals is not a European specific although the people of Siena are fiercely loyal to their district or Contrada and care more for the honour of winning than any concern for animal welfare - the horses selected to race wearing their colours are blessed in church - anybody who tried to mess with the Palio would be unlikely to last very long probably suffering more than any horse might.The Palio has a history covering many centuries with absolute and total support from each local community - any cruelty you see will continue for many years. Winning is much more important to them.

Ogni giorno penso a Siena poiché vivo lontano da questa città e ogni istante penso alla mia amatissima contrada: la Contrada Priora della Civetta!

Estive em Siena o ano passado amei!!!!!!Aliás a Itália é toda maravilhosa!!!!!

que maravilla Siena, desde Sevilla con amor.

+Brianna Thomas : No ! shooting the loser rider. Each one who's the last at any moment of the race is shot to death, and so on, until there is only one left : the winner. That adds more tension and fear to the race and motivation to the racers

The start

No, they didn't shoot a horse. They use a small explosive to signal things for the race, rather like using a starter pistol (although they did not use it to start the race -- they merely drop the rope to begin). In the video, you'll hear a bang near the end for when the people overseeing the race signaled for the jockeys to abruptly stop to keep from running over the injured jockey and the emergency medical technicians who were trying to transport him off of the track.

+accirt82gmail comunista? ah ah ah

+ceridwen04 io non so di dove sia tu quindi eviterò di fare ironie, ma in Italia il turismo produce il 9% del PIL, stesso dato del Regno Unito (8.6%). il nord italia è la seconda area più industrializzata d'Europa dopo le regioni tedesche del nord (Renania- Vestfalia).

+ala sinistra ti piacerebbe finire sotto 12 cavalli drogati che corrono, toscanaccio comunista cane?

+Lavinia2709 taci cagna toscana di merda. non c'è da meravigliarsi che stiate sui coglioni a tutti gli italiani, eccetto gli inglesi ma solo perchè non vi conoscono

+ceridwen04 Primo : Siena vive anche di turismo è vero. Però se uno vuole fare il turista e visitare questa immensa pulita ed educata città può farlo anche i rimanenti 340 giorni dove non si parla di Palio, tanto al turista del palio frega niente , si può vedere tutte le chiese, i musei e le accademie in un periodo più tranquillo, altrimenti che viene solo per il palio non faccia la morale pe chè vuole dire che le piace. Secondo : siena è una delle capitali dell'economia e della cultura europea, essendo sede di una delle più antiche e rinomate banche private, con una delle migliori facoltà di economia bancaria. Terzo: in Italia non si vive di turrismo , o per lo meno il turrimso non è la prima voce , in quanto l'Italia è la seconda potenza industriele d'Europa dopo la Germania . Informati prima di parlare.

+Chris Smith  ah certo. Però c'è venuto in Piazza, evidentemente il Palio tanto schifo non le fa!Ipocrita.

+ceridwen04 p.s. il mio sconvolgente era ironico e riferito alla risposta piccata ed esagerata quasi avesse detto abolite il palio o che.

+ala sinistra una cosa non esclude l'altra. E se vedere un cavallo in terra non ti crea problemi è un problema tuo.

+ceridwen04 sconvolgente? io di sconvolgente trovo la gente che quotidianamente frega il prossimo, no una banale caduta da cavallo

+Lavinia2709 ma che risposte sono. Chissà di che vive Siena come gran parte dell'Italia. Quante fabbriche c'avete? Meno male ci sono i turisti. E neanche avesse detto chissà che! Ha visto cavalli cadere e farsi male e ci è rimasto male. Sconvolgente.

Concordo!!Se il Palio vi fa tanto schifo restatevene a casa!! In Piazza si starebbe mille volte meglio senza turisti del cazzo!

Lo considero un disastro quando i cavalli diventano feriti e sono sanguinamento e terrorizzati, così come quando i fantini vengono laminati su.
