On 2 July the Palio is held in honor of the Madonna of Provenzano and on 16 August in honor of the Madonna Assunta.
There are 17 districts competing for the Palio, they mostly have names of real or mythological animals, their borders were determined in ancient times by the Bando of Violante of Bavaria which determined the territorial division that referred to the palaces and their noble owners, since 1200 there is evidence of horse racing in Siena, a custom that was also held in other cities such as Florence with the Corsa dei Barberi which was held on June 24, takes its name from the type of horse used for the race, the Barbero, which it is like the one used right in the Palio di Siena.
