Here are the shields of the 17 Contrades in Siena. The 17 compete against each other every July in a mad-dash horse race around the campo. Each Contrade has it's own church and on the Sunday before the race, the horse and it's rider are blessed at the church and then there's a big party....think what happens if they win!!! So what we would like from the 5 of you is to tell us which Contrade we want to pay special attention to when we are in Siena. Their names are Eagel, Snail, Owl, Giraffe, Turtle, Shell, Caterpillar, Dragon, Porcupine, Unicorn, Wolf, Ram, Swan, Wave, Panther, Rinoceros, and Elephant. We need a mascot for our trip and would like you to pick one for us! Let's hear what you think....
Both A's choose Dragon!
