Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Gaudenzia, Pride of the Palio" by Marguerite Henry is a novel written in the late 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Giorgio Terni, who aspires to become a talented animal trainer amidst the backdrop of the fierce and historic Palio horse race in Siena, Italy. The narrative explores themes of courage, compassion, and the bond between humans and animals, specifically Giorgio's journey alongside the half-bred Arabian mare, Gaudenzia. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Giorgio, a boy of humble origins living in a hill town near Siena, who is deeply affected by the cruelty he witnesses towards animals. This event becomes a pivotal moment that shapes his resolve to devote himself to animal care and training. From his interactions with a cruel swineherd to his dreams of horse racing, we see his passion take root. Additionally, the arrival of a tinker, known as the Umbrella Man, infuses Giorgio with excitement about the famed Palio and the strong traditions surrounding it, spurring him on his quest to train horses and find his true calling in life, setting the stage for a compelling adventure filled with personal growth and the rich culture of Italian equestrian heritage.
