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.
