Examines Sienese devotion to the Virgin from the medieval period until the present day. Exploring how the festival of the Palio has become the principal means of sustaining and celebrating Sienese culture, values and identity, Parsons shows how this festival stands in continuity with the earlier civil religion of medieval Siena.
