Siena, Italy

Siena Italy

The pride of the Tuscan Middle Ages, the city of bankers who taught Europe finance and promoted a revolutionary art school: Madonnas painted in gold that have enchanted international courts and still amaze with the timeless depth of their gazes. Siena is an open-air museum, no modern buildings can be found within its walls. The city has a timeless profile, over which tower the imposing Cathedral and the Torre del Mangia. Marvel at the opening of the Piazza del Campo with its characteristic shell shape and discover the Palazzo Pubblico, the centre of the city’s political life, returning to the days of the Government of Nine. Walk along the small streets, courtyards and squares that revive the atmosphere of the Italy of the Communes, still evoked in the splendour of the Palio, the great competition between the horses of the 'contrade' districts that follows the ceremonial traditions of the ancient Republic of Siena.
