Cena di Contrada

It was a fun night, more than 400 people in a tent having dinner together. in honor of la contrada di " Refenero ".
We are 2 days before the Palio, the donkey race of Torrita di Siena, and the little town of Torrita di Siena seemed not so little anymore.
People from all ages, al from the same contrada ( Refenero ), had fun together.
The pre- palio dinner goes on among a chorus of "brindisino la la la la la la" (brindisi means "a toast"), loud laughs and lots of food and wine! The dinner is just the "entrée" though, as the real party starts later in the night, and goes on tomorrow evening when food will be served in middle age costumes along the old streets of Torrita.
Then Sunday 20 March will be the big day.

Doncky against Donkey, Contrada against Contrada.
