SIENA: PIAZZA DEL CAMPO
The Piazza del Campo in Siena, site on the day we were there of one fool's mad solo lap in the drizzle. Not quite the rush of the three laps of bareback mayhem that is the twice yearly Palio, but, as far as random funniness goes, not bad either. In the video through this link (which shows the thrilling insanity that was the August 2007 race) the start and finish line is more or less where the camera is positioned in the photos above.
