This picture was taken by Maria Gabriela Ayala, an MPA postgraduate student. It was taken in Siena Italy.  

The annual horse race known as the palio is the most anticipated event in the beautiful medieval city of Siena. The palio is more than a race, it is the heart of Sienese culture and their life-styles are built around it. This photo depicts part of the palio parade where flag-bearers show their skills wearing the colours of their contrada or 'neighbourhood' to show their pride.
