Siena always attracts many tourists for its
wonderful monuments and its numerous masterpieces to visit
in its museums. Some great artists were
born in Siena and among them it is to remind Duccio di Boninsegna
and Nicola Pisano, who worked on the greatest masterpiece in Siena:
the Duomo.
In narrow and winding lanes, in museums and in the quarter oratorios
you may hear Palio propitiatory chants
that recall the ancient customs and modern allegories. In the evening,
on the other side, the patter of soles on the desert paving contrasts
to the peace of the green valleys surrounded by the walls by its
ancient administrators, for centuries till today.
In the town you may admire many masterpieces such as the Duomo,
set in the Campo, Siena's red-bricked main square and the wonderful
landscape of Facciatone, the hall of Pellegrinaio
in Santa Maria della Scala, the Piccolomini
library, the prestigious Accademy Chigiana and the wide rooms
in Fortezza Medicea, that hides the rarest wines in Siena, in Tuscany
and in the peninsula.
