What reading level is Our Lady of August And the Palio of Siena book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the sound of a trumpet the rope fell, OF THE CONTRADE OF SIENA ETC. I79 and the race commenced. That horse which, at the third circuit, first passed the judges' stand was declared the victor. But the palio was never con- signed to the men of the Contrada themselves.
It was presented to their Protettori; and to them only provisionally, since they were held responsible for its safe-keeping, and were obliged to restore it to the Commune after two or three days, re- ceiving, in its stead, a silv...er basin or its equiv- alent in money, which varied from forty to sixty scudi, according to the munificence of the Deputies appointed for the feast of S. Maria di Provenzano.
Rarely was the palio itself given as a prize to the winning Contrada.
As a rule, the victors deposited the silver basin in the Church of their Contrada ,- but, not un- frequently they petitioned the Governor to permit the race to be run anew, by the other Contrade, on the occasion of the Festival of Our Lady of August ; offering as a prize the silver basin which they had themselves won.
