This post is going to be short and sweet. Just a heads up that the August Il Palio has just passed and the winner is...Contrada del Oca (neighborhood of the Goose). Click the link if you want to see some great photos from the August 2007 Il Palio by Manny Fresh Foo of Berkeley.

Also filming there this year was Bond 22 with Il Palio as the backdrop and attracting a bit of criticism from animal activists.

I haven't found any videos or stories on Il Palio or Pet Fashion Week yet--so check your favorite news programs and sources.
