An equal opportunities call for new
engineers in the Tuscan city of Siena specified it just wanted
male applicants because the Renaissance jewel famed for the
medieval Palio horse race has too many female council engineers
already.
Siena council currently employs 81 women engineers and 40 men
engineers.
The job call stated that, if qualifications were at a similar
level, then "a preferential title will be applied in favour of
candidates belonging to the male gender".
