Contrada della Chiocciola
The Contrada della Chiocciola (Snail Contrada) is one of the seventeen historic districts of Siena, Italy, whose residents compete in the famous Palio di Siena horse race held twice each summer in the city's Piazza del Campo. Known for its motto and rivalry with the Contrada della Tartuca, the Chiocciola has won the Palio numerous times throughout its long history dating back to the medieval era.
