Since over 800 years the city of Siena in the Tuscany hosts an annual horse race named Palio. The cutlery Palio by Carl Mertens is an event like the tournament in Italy. Its design marries functionality and ergonomics with aesthetics, thereby turning it into quite a unique culinary experience. The pleasant feeling using the Palio cutlery is only matched by the remarkable impression it leaves on a well-set table.
