1666) Arturo Dejana

Arturo Dejana (1938 - 2022). Italian jockey.
He was born in Sardinia and participated in two editions of the Palio di Siena.
The first time was in 1966, running for the Istrice contrada on a horse called Bolero. Unfortunately, on that occasion Dejana unsaddled his rival Bruno Deriu (who was running for the Lupa contrada), and then grabbed the reins of the "shaken" horse Danubio, that was galloping towards triumph. Deiana won the Palio, but the victory was taken away from him and his bad behavior cost him a disqualification for eight editions.
He participated again in the Palio di Siena in 1972, running for the Selva contrada on the horse Pitagora.
