Madonna’s Italian 67th Birthday Celebration 

This material girl is livin’ la dolce vita. 

Madonna, who turned 67 on Aug. 16, shared a look at her lavish birthday party in Italy—and fittingly, she celebrated the occasion in symbolic style.

“My dream, for many years, has been to watch the Palio horse race in Siena that takes place on my birthday since 1482!” Madonna wrote on her Aug. 19 Instagram video. “There are no words to describe the excitement, the suspense, and the Pageantry! A truly sacred ritual to witness thousands of people hushed to silence before the race begins!” 

Indeed, the “Holiday” singer attended the historic race with her boyfriend Akeem Morris, 28, and her two oldest daughters Lourdes, 26, and Mercy, 19. (She’s also mom to kids Rocco, 25, David, 19, and 12-year-old twins Stella and Estere.)
