The horses of this show are the Persean breed, used traditionally with hawks during hunting. The various assistants follow the falconers on horses.
Siena. Towers and Falcons
The Pecci Garden is located near Piazza del Campo in a splendid and intact medieval location. Siena relives its ghibbelin history with the spirit and atmosphere typical of those times. The frescoes entitled "Good Government" by Ambrogio Lorenzetti offer a rare insight into the life and costumes of the times. Eagles, hawks and owls fly above towers and walls guided by the ancient calls of the falconers that echo in the splendid valley with the musical accompaniment. The rapacious birds respond with amazing dives in the air and then gently rest on the hand of the falconer.
