| PALIO DI SIENA Collection: The ?Palio di Siena? is a tournament as a replica of a medieval horse race which is ran twice year, during the summer season, in the city of Siena, located in the beautiful Tuscany region. The race takes its name "Palio" from the Italian word which means "banner". The richly decorated banner is the prize given to the winning ?Contrada? (District) of the race. Seventeen are the Palio's "Contrada" that compete against each other and each one has a distinctive Insignia. We offer wall plates and Coffee Mugs depicting eight ?Contrada? Insignias. Each Artistica's Palio wall plate is shipped with an elegant certificate with the Palio?s History, as well as attesting the authenticity of the plate along with authorization to reproduce the Palio and Contrada insignias depicted in these unique products. |
