In front of everyone from the first to the last corner. A victory that has never been in discussion, that of Tittia at the Palio di Siena, who in the third and last lap made the void behind him bringing the Selva in triumph.

For him it is the victory of the Star, but also the fifth consecutive triumph at the Palio which consigns him to legend . No one had ever managed to win five races in a row: «It seemed impossible, but in life you should never set limits . I worked on it all winter and I never stopped", said Nurri's jockey in an interview with "La Nazione"

He was never afraid that they might take him back: « Violenta has an edge over was the first horse of the lot. I wanted her ." Giovanni Atzeni dedicates the victory «first of all to the Selva, because I think that the prize was so important for me the district with which I have a strong relationship», and then « to my family, I'm sick from work and they put up with and support me in every I wait ".

So many external pressures, Tittia was the great favourite, but he isolated himself: «I pull the plug and enter my world, me and the horse».

It doesn't end here, in a month it's still the Palio and Giovanni Atzeni is already thinking about what could be his eleventh personal success and sixth in a row: « Yes, I'm already thinking about August, but I only want to challenge myself, I don't chase records ».
