Siena is a delightful little shrine of art, one of the best preserved and unspoilt towns in Italy. It fits like a pearl on the rose "shell" of the Campo Square. The city is rather small and its highlights can be seen in a 3 to 5 hour tour. We will enjoy a stroll in the endless labyrinth of winding narrow streets, soak up the evocative medieval atmosphere and marvel at the beautiful fan-shaped square "il Campo", lined with ancient palaces, cafès and shops. During our wandering we will also stop by the medieval palaces of the Sienese aristocracy and sample the delights of Ricciarelli or Panforte, mouthwatering almond paste cookies typical of Siena. Siena is also the best preserved Gothic medieval city in Italy, cradle of the Italian Gothic style and your local guide (me ;-) will be happy to share with you her passion for and attachment to the city she loves.
The tour includes: *Basilica of st Domenico, with its beautiful frescoes, to have an insight on the Medieval everyday's life and the fascinating story of a great Sienese woman, born a few yards away, a mystic who finally became patroness of Italy: St. Catherine of Siena. **Please note: no shorts and no bare shoulders allowed inside the churches Then we go through the heart of the city, to see *Piazza del Campo with its stunning Gaia Fountain *City Hall (Palazzo Pubblico, inside) and the world famous frescoes by Martini and Lorenzetti. These frescoes are a velively representation of what everyday life in Siena and its countryside used to be like in 1340. The result is a real time-machine that allows us to feel the local history vivid and alive! We would then wind through ancient alleys to the *Cathedral: a milestone of European gothic Architecture with world famous masterpieces by Michelangelo, Pinturicchio, Donatello, Bernini.
