my name sounds like a revolution

A little story:

Siena is divided into 17 neighborhoods, or contrade, which have been around since the Middle Ages when they were used for funds and manpower to defend Siena's recent independence from Florence. Today they are not so administrative as they are driven by their residents' emotion and devotion---you take great pride in your contrada, every grand event (baptisms, weddings, festivals) celebrated by your small slice of the city.

So it is with great pride, and already the inkling of fierce devotion, that I introduce to you mia Contrada del Bruco. Yes, the Contrada of the Caterpillar.

Sure, everyone else can claim the she-wolf, the elephant, the porcupine, the giraffe. But don't dismiss my humble little inchworm quite yet---that post title you see up there? You'd better believe that's our motto. We deserved it (just ask Charles IV of Bohemia, 1369), and we're sticking with it.
