The Tuscany region
Siena is spread out over three hills, between Val d’Elsa and Val d’Arbia, in a gentle and beautiful landscape, among the most beautiful in Tuscany and in all of Italy. Perhaps it is one of the most suggestive cities in the world, designed by the architects of the 14th century gothic times: the Duomo, the Battistero, the Loggia dei Mercati, the Town Hall, the Mangia Tower. The streets, narrow and windy, rise and fall along the three hills which Siena stands on and open without warning to its gardens, noble churches and panoramas rich in green vegetation. The heart of the city is Piazza del Campo, shaped like a seashell, famous for the Palio of the Contradas which takes place every year on the 2nd of July and the 16th of August. Land of saints, artists and poets: Saint Catherine, Saint Bernard, Simone Martini, Duccio di Boninsegna, Jacopo della Quercia, Ambio and Pietro Lorenzetti, Cecco Angiolieri. Siena has preserved a unique atmosphere. Its people are kind and the trattorias are excellent (the ricciarelli and panforte must be tasted). Just south of Siena is Val d’Orcia, with its enchanting landscape, celebrated for its gentle sloping hills and the beautiful hamlets of Montepulciano, home to the wine which bares the same name, Pienza and Montalcino, home to the very prestigious grapes which the Brunello wine is born from.
