The Contrada della Lupa is one of the seventeen historical subdivisions of the Tuscan city of Siena. The Bando di Violante di Baviera ( 1730 ) determines the territorial subdivision of the seventeen Contradas of Siena referring to the palaces and their owners of the time, thus based on the buildings rather than on the roads. It is still considered today the basic provision for determining the actual borders of the Contrade.
