Parking in Siena during Palio

We will be driving from Civitavecchia to Florence on July 2, 2017. We were planning on making a stop at Siena on our way to Florence but I'm concerned that it will be overly crowded with the Palio race. Would it be better to skip Siena and stop somewhere else? If so, what would you recommend?
 
Siena and Palio

Buonasera,
yes, Siena will certainly be very crowded because of the palio and there will be a lot of cars ... so not a lot of parkings available. But the day of the palio is very particular because in the afternoon, everybody is in and around the main piazza! So, all the other beautiful spots are almost empty! Very special! Don't miss Siena, it is a wonderful town.
