Wow, that is an interesting and really old tradition! What is the prize for the eventual winner? Is there a prize, or is it the bragging rights, to be declared the winner from all the neighbourhoods for the next half year?

There is a painted tapestry for the winner. Every Palio has a different one.
However it is a great bragging rights and the "rival" of the winner goes in the shadow.
For example I am part of the Shell (Nicchio) and my rival is the Mutton (Montone). During the Palio there are also fights between rivals: there are people who are good friends during usual life and they become rivals during the Palio.
We are crazy, I know!😅
