I have produced together with Video Professional Studio two DVD's and am happy to share them with you. Both DVD’s are narrated in English language (my voice) and are available in Pal or NTSC (for US only) versions. In both videos you will be moved to tears, I challenge you……..

THE DAYS OF THE PALIO

The Days of the Palio is a brief history of our unique medieval tradition that is held twice a year in Siena. By viewing this video you will experience not only the race but also the celebrations of the victors and the intense emotions the Sienese live on the days proceeding the Palio.

SIENA A WORLD APART

The newly released DVD “Siena- A World Apart” is a documentary filmed in high definition by Video Professional Studio motion picture company in Siena. The film reveals the motives that make a small town like Siena appeal to thousands of tourists and the reasons why so many sociologists worldwide choose to study the bizarre character of its inhabitants whose roots go as far back to the Etruscan period.
The video allows you to discover through breathtaking scenes the monumental beauties the city can boast as well as the hidden underground treasures some of which have been unearthed during recent renovations of its Cathedral and its ancient Medieval hospital.

The movie has been conceived together with Emilio Ravel a national celebrity deeply in love with his city and is narrated by best selling British born Sienese author Dario Castagno in his typical “signorile” voice. During the vision seven local legendary female figures will mysteriously appear and whose haunting voices will add a touch of exotic intriguing mystery.

The documentary is shot with the latest techniques by Riccardo Domenichini and Barbara Castelli two local prize winning film makers and has been approved by local authorities and Consortium for the protection of Siena's Palio

Be prepared to enjoy over an hour of emotions that reach its peak when you will experience the passions lived by the Sienese during the days of the Palio horse race through amazing unforgettable touching scenes.
