The Palio del Casale, or Donkey Race, brings thousands of spectators and partiers to the town of Camposano. It’s a weekend-long party based around old Italian tradition and light competition between neighboring towns, regions, and even countries. Amidst the music, great food and drink, David learns what it’s really like to be a donkey jockey, and represents Canada in the race – with exciting results.
