Madonna was supported by her loved ones on Saturday as she celebrated her 67th birthday at the famous Palio di Siena horse race in Tuscany.
The pop veteran watched from a balcony with son Rocco, daughter Lourdes Leon and Malawi-born twin daughters Stella and Estere, 12, who she adopted in 2017, as the biannual race got underway.
The historic event has taken place in the Tuscan city of Siena twice a year since medieval times, with the first formal race being organised in 1633.
And Madonna, who celebrated her birthday on Saturday, looked engrossed in the spectacle while flanked by her loved ones.
Artist son Rocco, 25, her only child with director Guy Ritchie, was stripped to his vest as he accompanied his mother on her special day.
Eldest daughter Lourdes, 28 – her daughter with dancer Carlos Leon – also joined in on the fun during their appearance in central Italy.

Madonna is also mother to 19-year-old daughter Chifundo ‘Mercy’ James Kambewa Ciccone.
Mercy was a four-year-old orphan suffering from Malaria when Michigan-born Madge adopted her in 2007, which led to a three-year legal battle due to her being a two-time divorcée.
Her son David Banda, 19, whom she adopted in 2006, when he was just 13 months old, while she funded an orphanage in Malawi, wasn’t in attendance at the family outing.
Last month, Madonna sent fans into a frenzy as she teased her upcoming new music in new social media snaps.
She confirmed earlier this year that her upcoming album will be a sequel to her hit 2005 album Confessions On A Dance Floor.
Sharing an update to Instagram, she posted a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of her time recording in the studio in London, alongside producer Stuart Price.
Sharing an array of snaps, Madonna was seen in the recording studio, putting on a busty display in a lace cami top while hard at work recording her new tracks.
Madonna could also be seen wearing a t-shirt which said ‘Mother’ as she strolled around the Big Smoke.
She was also seen with her DJ son Rocco, 25, who she shares with director Guy Ritchie

Madonna looked nervous at one point during the race
Sharing photos from the studio in February, Madonna was seen sitting behind a drum kit, in others she sings into a microphone and in still others she vamps for the camera in the way only Madonna can.
‘My Valentine’s Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I’m putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can’t wait to share it with you!’ she wrote.
The new album will be her first since 2019’s Madame X.
No release date, or even estimate of when the new music would drop was revealed by the seven time Grammy winner.
