“
When the organizers of Artoberfest, a communitywide and monthlong series of exhibitions, concerts, performances, and art fairs, decided ot have fun with the concept of the Palio di Sienna, a centuries-old horse race around the Piazza del Campo in the Italian town of Sienna, they came up with a winning formula.
“Instead of having various Terzieri (neighborhoods) represented by four-legged thoroughbreds, the Palio di Chico uses the leg power of humans to carry sculptures of race horses around the Downtown City Plaza…” —John Villani
