If you do go to Siena, try and go to the Il Palio.

Each district of Siena has a horse in a (quite violent) race around the square.
Whilst it's generally a massive attraction for tourists the locals take it very seriously and it's not just a tourist attraction at all. After the race the winning district put out their banners and have a massive party.
