It's Tittia again. The Nurri jockey is increasingly making history at the Palio di Siena, with Anda and Bola leading the Nicchio contrada back to victory after 28 years .

Giovanni Atzeni dominates the Palio dell'Assunta and triumphs for the thirteenth time in Piazza del Campo, further approaching "Aceto" (Andrea Degortes), king of the modern Palio who boasts 14 victories .

The Nicchio's last victory dated back to 1998, and Tittia managed to erase the longest wait among the contrade. And he did it with the very contrade where his story in Siena began. Atzeni, in fact, ran in the first four Palios of his career with the Nicchio. He subsequently participated in three more, without ever winning one.

Anda e Bola, bred in Sardinia, had already won a Palio .

After a grueling wait, the race began around 8:10 PM, and Tittia immediately took the lead, dominating with a large lead until the finish, where he fell and was immediately treated . Initial reports suggest the injuries are not serious: Tittia, conscious, was taken by ambulance to the Scotte Hospital in Siena for checks. The winning horse, Anda e Bola, is doing well and has already been examined by veterinarians.
