Action shots

On the weekend our Italian home town celebrated Palio Bosino on Mother's Day. They cook huge racks of ribs on a bbq that is about 6 metres long and then sell them by the kilo. As part of the entertainment the locals dress in period costumes from the medieval times.



Another part of the entertainment is the flag performances. Either solo, in pairs or in larger groups the men perform intricate dances and simulated fights with these large flags. It's amazing to watch the way they throw them into the air and catch them again. Catching the flags is a lot easier than catching the shot!
