"Hand-Painted Miniatures for Palio di Siena Medieval Horse Race Boardgame Available" Topic

I've seen the Palio twice, once in 1989 and again in 1994. Had a great time. The whole concept brings back some great memories.

I loved all the pomp prior to the race with factions wearing medieval armor and garb. I was even invited to a private museum for one fo the factions.

Great idea hope it catches on.

I forgot to add that my oldest daughter Siena is named after the town, my youngest after another well known town, Ravenna. LOL

Oddio…

Ravenna (I was born in Ferrara!)

Which one is Lanfranco Dettori?!?

The figures look like a nice addition to the game and I think I see myself in the crowd. lol

Ferarra is beautiful as well.

Is there a restraunt in Ferrara called the Four Cats or something like that?

Bill, the boardgame at this link is not the official game but an old game by Del Negro.

The official game, by the game designer Massimo Pesce, is authorized by the CTPS, Consorzio Tutela Palio Storico, and is Palio, now at 2nd ed. You can check the game on our pages or check the first edition at link
