Kit,
Siena is 200 kms to the north from here, anyway you must tell me which police it was: the town's of Siena Police, the shire police, the national police, or a private police?
Anyway you were lucky to be there in Easter and not in the period of a Palio (2 of July and 16 of August), since in that days you have to mind to the colors you wear, since, if they are of an enemy Contrada, they can cause you to be dragged in a fist fight. That's Siena in which you should never give up any chance to fly the flags of your Contrada.
Sorry, I thought by the way you were talking you lived in Siena.
I have no idea which Police force it was - I think it was the Shire Police as I also saw the same vehicles elsewhere.
Not to worry, next time I'm in Tuscany I'll have to take the image myself - though that may be some while away.
Many thanks for the game - much appreciated and brought a smile to my face.
Kit
