16 August 2019The district of Selva won the 2019 edition of the Palio di Siena, the one dedicated to the Madonna dell'Assunta. The Selva's victory took place with the horse shaken - that is, without a jockey - Remorex that in Piazza del Campo passed the Caterpillar in a sprint right on the finish line.

Giovanni Atzeni known as Tittia is the jockey who fell halfway. Remorex won as a horse shaken also in the extraordinary Palio of October 2018.

Bitterness for the jockey Andrea Mari called Brio on the horse Schietta running for the Caterpillar: he had begun to exult with the Contrada members but then the photo finish decreed the victory of the Selva.

Last year the Lupa had won.
