Debate over Islamic, Jewish symbols on banner for Siena's Palio clouds annual horse race
By The Associated Press (CP) – 1 day ago

SIENA, Italy — The Palio, the famous breakneck, bareback horse race around Siena's main piazza, has been clouded by a debate over this year's official banner which features Islamic, Jewish and Christian symbols.

The banner was painted by Lebanese-born artist Ali Hassoun and is to be awarded to the winner of Friday's big race.

The painting features St. George wearing what appears to be a black and white checkered keffiyah. Above him is a picture of the Madonna, featuring a crescent moon — one of the most prominent symbols of Islam — the Jewish Star of David and a cross on her crown, surrounded by Arabic writing.

The city of Siena has called the painting "beautiful." But right-wing groups and at least one conservative newspaper have called it blasphemous.

On Thursday, Siena's Roman Catholic diocese said the Islamic and Jewish symbols on the Madonna's crown were "problematic" but said it hoped the debate that has ensued would recall the Christian traditions of the Palio.

Hassoun said his painting was an expression in favour of dialogue and finding common ground among cultures, according to the CnrMedia news agency. "I note that the cross is higher up than the other symbols, because this is the tradition of the country where we live," he said.

The annual Palio pits Siena's 17 neighbourhoods against one another and is a major tourist draw for this Tuscan city. Each neighbourhood puts up a horse and rider to race three times around the slippery, dirt-covered cobblestone track of Sienna's main square.

The race, marked by medieval pageantry, is held twice every summer and has long raised another type of controversy. Animal rights groups have long objected to the injuries and deaths of horses who frequently fall, collide or are trampled during the race. Some 50 horses have died since 1970.

Anonymous,
That Martin Hirsch comment was supposed to be a sick joke, right?

Pastorious,

nope, he criticized eric zemmour who has exposed islam (and was called a racist for that).



look at this commentary:

«i think you are a bit harsh on hirsch
i have always believed this dude to be a village simpleton bordering on mongolism and furthermore it's hot at the moment so overall it might not help to improve the synaptic relations between his 10 neurons.»
