Palio Small Plate, The She-Wolf

Lupa (The She-Wolf): Traditionally, the residents of Lupa were bakers. The she-wolf of this contrada refers to the legend that Siena was founded by Senius and Aschius, the sons of Remus, who were raised by a wolf. Because of this, Lupa's sister city is Rome. Lupa has no allies; its rival is Istrice, since 1934.
