At the Palio in Siena, the district of L'Aquila triumphs after 34 years: the last victory in 1992

The article reports on the 2026 Palio di Siena, where the Contrada dell’Aquila won after a 34-year gap since their last victory in 1992. The race took place on July 3, 2026, one day later than usual due to bad weather. Giovanni Atzeni, known as Tittia, rode the horse Diodoro to claim the win, marking his 12th victory out of 42 races. This was also Diodoro’s second win in three appearances. Four horses completed the race without their jockeys, including Torre, Bruco, Drago, and Giraffa. During the historical procession, the town council honored two deceased figures connected to the event: Giovanni Mazzini, a longtime member of the fanfare, and Mario Cappelli, a clarinet player who served on the Carroccio for decades.
