The well-known rock singer is originally from the city of Siena and like her fellow citizens she is viscerally linked to her district, the Oca. In the video you can see his participation in the contrada dinner, a propitiatory rite that has been taking place for centuries the evening before the Palio race. Daughter of the well-known Nannini pastry chefs, Gianna tells of the vibrations and excitement that the contradaioli feel in their veins, the hours that wait until the horses come out, who tremble at false starts, who cry and despair at the shaken horse or the fallen jockey. Hysterical scenes seen on TV, perhaps misunderstood, weave the souls of the Sienese who were born in the district and from an early age are involved in the preparation of the horse and of the neighborhood streets. The sloping square, designed to make the water fall to the levels below, the beaten earth, the dust that ignites the air and the wide eyes of the horses attacked by raving people at the finish line, imprint the existence of the participants. The singer relives the same vibrations, and we with her, on stage and it is not just a matter of stage personality but of character and Sienese blood.
