Six arrested for attacking Palio jockey who defected
|
|
By Bruce Johnston in Rome
|
|
(Filed: 28/08/2002)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Police waded into the intrigues and enmities surrounding the Palio, Siena's
|
|
traditional bareback horse race, for the first time yesterday, arresting six
|
|
people for beating up a star jockey who defected to a rival team.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Angry spectators attack Giuseppe Pes at the Palio horse race in Siena
|
|
Giuseppe Pes, a champion jockey of Sardinian extraction who has won the Palio
|
|
nine times in 38 runs, was closely associated with the Istrice, or Porcupine,
|
|
contrada - section of town - until the race earlier this month.
|
|
|
|
Istrice did not have a horse in the contest - only 10 of the 17 contradas take
|
|
part in each Palio - but, despite promises to the contrary, moments before the
|
|
off Mr Pes mounted the horse of Lupa, or She-Wolf.
|
|
|
|
Lupa are Istrice's historic rivals, and the defection was not taken well. Lupa
|
|
did not win, victory going instead to Tartuca, tortoise.
|
|
|
|
As its supporters erupted into joyous celebrations, Mr Pes was pulled from his
|
|
mount by Istrice members and savagely beaten and kicked for seven minutes.
|
|
|
|
Mr Pes, 39, whose jacket with his contrada's colours was torn from his back,
|
|
was sent to hospital with fractures, cuts and bruises.
|
|
|
|
Three of his attendants who tried to intervene were also beaten. Police
|
|
yesterday arrested six people they said had been identified as the attackers
|
|
from video footage.
|
|
|
|
Experts said it was the first time that members of a contrada - known as
|
|
contradaioli - had been arrested for beating up a jockey, despite the fact
|
|
that such episodes belong to the race's ancient traditions.
|
|
|
|
The Palio, which was first raced in the 14th century, is held twice a year on
|
|
the cobbles of Siena's main square. For weeks beforehand supporters parade
|
|
through the city, singing, waving flags and wearing their contrada colours.
|
|
But by the day of the race the good humour evaporates.
|
|
|
|
The event has no rules and is prepared for and run amid an extraordinary
|
|
undercurrent of intrigue and even violence. Jockeys may swap sides at the last
|
|
minute, take bribes, and whip rivals' horses, and more, so long as they do not
|
|
grab their reins.
|
|
|
|
The origins of the contrada lie in the Middle Ages, when the neighbourhoods'
|
|
boundaries were set out to aid the many mercenary companies hired to defend
|
|
Siena's fiercely earned independence from Florence and other city states.
|
|
|
|
The first Palio of the year takes place on July 2, to commemorate the miracles
|
|
of the Madonna of Provenzano, and a second race on Aug 16 marks the feast of
|
|
the Assumption of the Virgin.
