Is it wine, oil or meat?

Chianina is deeply rooted in Tuscan history and to most Italians she's no unfamiliar term. Most associate her with the famous bistecca fiorentina . In addition, the animal takes part in countless festivities and folkloric processions. During these occasions the proud farmers take their animals out of the stables and harness them to a historic cart.

To foreigners on the other hand, the Chianina is often one big question mark. We went to the Piazza del Campo in Siena to find out how (un)known the Chianina is. As we suspected, all the Italians knew what the animal is and the foreigners had to guess.
