Publisher's description:
The Palio of Siena is one of the most famous and ancient events in Italy.
All the town, with its 17 contrade, is involved. A Festival that attracts thousands of people from all over the world, ready to stand in Piazza del Campo to see it.
Aim of this book is to explain its history, traditions and rules to preschool age children (but not only!) throughout the familiar and clear language of fairy tales.
Also available in Italian, the text is enriched with big, merry, colourful drawings to stimulate the children's imagination and the visual or effective reading of the Palio traditions: a wonderful «game» to carry away both children and adults.
