Summary

An American couple on holiday in the atmospheric Italian town of Siena are on their way to witness the time-honoured Palio horse race.

It is an unforgettable tale that begins with the persecution of a young nun in the turbulent days of the sixteenth century and culminates in the bitter German retreat from Italy.
