Very odd - especially as we had no idea it was going on until we got there.
I got married in Tuscany last year and just happened to pick the right day / days to visit Siena.
My wife and I went to Siena the day before the race to have a look around (having no idea) and ended up eating lunch at a place right outside the chapel for the Oca house. Mid way through lunch, the place exploded with people and noise as they brought the horse into the chapel to bless it.
After that, we went into the square for look around and the procession of the houses started.
We returned for the race day. My friend who was our photographer got loads of pics but i can't find them. We hardly saw anything of the race itself as there were so many people. We would have had to get there at 6am to get a good spot.
