It was May 2013 when Thomas Paradis convened in Siena, Italy, with a cohort of American faculty and students to lead a two-month inaugural study-abroad program. After a harrowing journey across the ocean, students and faculty alike soon realized that adapting to a foreign culture and language would be more challenging than they expected, especially amid one of the worlds more authentic community festivalsthe Palio horse race. Paradis weaves witty stories of personal discovery with a crash course on Siena and its ferocious twice-yearly horse race. As the July 2 race and its related rituals draw closer, Paradis details how he and his wife uncovered the impressive local communities that underlie the life and blood of the age-old Palio in order to better understand what drives the passion of its residents. When the race finally begins, Paradis provides a compelling upfront view of the action and the races aftermath, pulling in the collective experiences of his students as their eyes and minds open to seeing the world in an entirely new way. Living the Palio shares an amusing and instructional romp through Siena, Italy, as university faculty members and their students gain self-confidence, patience, and most importantly, respect for a different way of life.

Wildly enjoying the success of his first production, playwright David Musante sees his reckless life in the fast lane come crashing to the ground following a bizarre bust-up on New Year’s Eve in New York City. Hoping somehow to put his life and career back together, David flees the bright lights of Manhattan on an impulsive trip to Europe. Unfortunately, his irresponsible ways continue and after leaving a trail of misbehavior from London to Lazio, he ends up virtually penniless in Rome. Desperate for money, an extreme lapse in judgment suddenly finds David as the prime suspect for the murder of one of Italy’s most prominent social figures. Set against a marvelous European backdrop, this astonishing debut shows us how a person’s life can be flipped upside down almost instantaneously. The Palio is a riveting journey into the world of mystery, circumstance and suspense, all topped off with a truly shocking conclusion bound to leave the reader stunned.

Once in a great while the people of Siena, Italy organize a special horse race beyond the normal Palio events of July and August. Known as a Straordinario, or Extraordinary Palio, the city's seventeen timeless contrade (neighborhoods) reserve such events to honor only the most significant occasions, not the least being the Apollo 11 lunar landing and the turn of the millennium. Eighteen years would pass before the next Straordinario featured herein, which arguably pulled the community quite outside its comfort zone. Unbridled Spirit invites readers to dive into the locally contentious effort in October, 2018 to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of World War I. Upon Siena's whirlwind decision to hold the event, Thomas Paradis visited off-season to explore the history and meanings of the war and to experience a rare October Palio that came close to not happening at all. Whether you are a newcomer or more familiar with Siena's Palio, Unbridled Spirit offers intriguing local stories and perspectives that help us appreciate what the Palio means to Siena, and how its people rallied to encourage a unique centenary reflection on La Grande Guerra--the Great War. Includes illustrations, glossary, bibliography, and notes.

Excerpt from Our Lady of August and the Palio of Siena As far as I am aware, with the exception of three or four fugitive articles which have appeared from time to time in some of the magazines, no account of the Palio of Siena has ever been written in the English language. In the following pages I have endeavored to supply this want; with what success I leave it to the reader to decide.
