Italy again? Our last story was on an Italian-American organization asking that "Mafia II" be delayed until all references to Italians be removed from the game, and now the city of Siena is asking that "Gran Turismo 5" remove material related to its Piazza del Campo level before release.The Piazza del Campo is the site of a famous biannual horse race, the Palio di Siena. The historic course is used in "Gran Turismo 5" in its new kart racing mode, controversially using the same flags that represent each district/competitor in the horse race. Apparently the flags and symbols are the only controversial component, so hopefully they can be removed or have the issue otherwise resolved without further delaying the near-vaporware racing game's release in November.
