This race dates back to the 13th century and is run twice a year, on July 2 and August 16 in the Piazza del Campo in Siena.

- A typical symbol of Easter in Italy is a cake in the shape of a dove - colomba . The Easter dove - colomba pasquale - has its roots in the distant past. Around the middle of the sixth century a raised ring-shaped loaf was offered to Alboin, the king of the Lombards, who was besieging the city of Pavia. The ingredients (eggs, flour, and yeast) were simple compared to those of today, which include butter, sugar, and candied fruit.

- The Comune (municipality) is the smallest autonomous political unit. It keeps the registers of births, marriages, and deaths and has the power to raise taxes and to approve public works. The Comune is run by the Giunta comunale (governing group) whose members come from the Consiglio comunale (city council). Both groups report to the Mayor (Sindaco). The Campidoglio (Capitol), one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is the seat of the Comune di Roma , the Rome city council.

- Tangentopoli (city of bribes) was the name given by journalists to the corruption scandal of the early 1990s which involved numerous politicians, government ministers, high-profile industrialists and businessmen. Judicial investigations uncovered an extensive network of bribery, paid for from both private and public funds. The scandal emerged in Milan, and the city was therefore known as Tangentopoli .
