Talk:Siena
From Academic Kids
The "Palio di Siena" is potentially a huge matter. Maybe it should have a page by itself.. What do you think?
- If we can have a non-stub article on it, I'd say go for it. -- Infrogmation 03:46, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, I was thinking about writing an article, not a stub. I'm not from Siena, but I love the Palio and I belong to the "Contrada della Torre" (Tower). So, I'll be happyto write an article about that FedericoCaboni
- I've added a couple of lines reporting the animalists' complaints, really actual after today's mortal incident to the horse of the Bruco, a 8yo gelding, named Amoroso. --213.255.107.33 20:22, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

University of Siena - 1204 ?
Don't know about the date of foundation. It seems it was 1240. Don't know Italian but it is worth consulting the official website of the university.

Major Edit
Expanded the history of Siena, made a seperate Art and Architecture section containing a lot of the existing material, added some info for travellers.
Left the palio section as it is - it's right to have a seperate page.
Most of the info comes from Siena (J Hook), La Terra in Piazza: Interpretation of the Palio of Siena (A Dundes, A Falassi), and various tourist publications. Corrections very welcome!
