Casato di Sotto

The Casato road is divided into two districts, that is, Casato di sopra, and below, the above one, as mentioned, must be joined under the eagle's machine, and the one below, joins with the Contrada of Saint Salvadore, which starts from the large square on the left hand, up to the Porta all'Arco, next to the Bargagli house, acts as a sign for a red field with a crosswise gold list, with three red stars.

San Salvadore

The Contrada of Saint Salvadore, which takes this name from the Parish Church, extends from the song of Malborghetto to the tavern of the she-wolf to the Portone of Saint Agata, where the Church of Saint Joseph is now, and on the side towards the House it occupies all the roads, called Lombarde, Percennesi, and Sambuco; makes for field weapons with white and black waves.

The aforementioned two Contradas have always costumed to represent in the hunts a dolphin in the midst of the waves of the sea, which are now commonly called the Wave, which such waves has always used in its shield the Contrada of Saint Salvadore, perhaps taken to do for the sway of that road. The machine of these Contradas is very old, because it is found to have appeared in the square in a game of Pugna since the year 1494. The year 1546 appeared to a hunting of bulls with 100 people dressed as shepherds, who led on a large cart in triumph Diana. The year 1599 gave the people a great buffalo race with great generosity, exposing the winner by prize a rich Palio, and two other prizes for extras. The year 1612 brought the prize back in a race of donkeys, which by force of force were pushed forward, which was the first, and the last time, that this festival was held. The year 1650 appeared with 70 men on horseback, who led Neptune the god of the sea on a large cart, which accompanied Europa, who rode above a bull. The year 1680 in the arrival in Siena of the Most Serene Grand Duchess, and Prince Francesco, also obtained in that case the prize for the appearance. The year 1692, in honor of the Most Serene Grand Prince Gio: Castone, led in triumph the main rivers of Germany, celebrating in the triumph of Caesar, where he obtained the Palio, and the prize; and lastly, in order not to bore ahead, we would like too much to tell all the extras of these Contrade, such as the year 1717 in the presence of the Most Serene Princes Violante Governatrice di Siena, and Gio: Castone Great Prince of Tuscany, led in triumph Neptune over a chariot, accompanied by the main rivers of Germany, Spain, France, and Italy all on horseback. These councilors gather their councilors in an oratory, dedicated to the Visitation of Mary, and on the day on which they solemnize the Feast, endow poorer girls, the Oratory is annexed to the Parish Church of Saint Salvadore Command of the Prior of the Religion of Saint Stephen, granted to them by the said Prior, but manufactured by those inhabitants, and for the devotion they have always brought to the Madonna, it has been finished with many decorations.
