Specialist Notes

In 1932 the prestigious Casa Editrice Novissima, directed by Edoardo De Fonseca, published a volume of the history of the Palio di Siena, with text by Piero Misciatelli and illustrations by Duilio Cambellotti, who had traveled to Siena in the previous two years to create the work , to attend the Palio. For each chapter dedicated to each district, the volume contains a full-page illustration and a header to decorate the text. Our example is number 76.
