It's the Palio dell'Aquila, by Tittia. Giovanni Atzeni, after 34 years, has led the Contrada dell'Aquila back to victory, until recently the "grandmother" of the Palio, having not won a single race since July 3, 1992. Back then, it was Andrea Degortes, known as "Aceto," who sparked the jubilation of the contrada members. This time, it was the Sardinian-German jockey who, with 12 Palio wins, is now chasing the Piazza del Campo record.
