Agree with VV about Siena. Big group of us riding our bikes thru the Compo (large central square) in 2000. Had to get permission from city authorities. Big celebration and horse race held there yearly--the Palio. Local yelled at my wife:
"Giro de Palio" which I guess would mean tour or circuit of the steel ponies. Wild boar is the name of the hunting game.
