Stella S.
Hello! My name is Stella, I was born in Siena Tuscany and spent most of my life in this gorgeous...

This is a classic siena tour where you will learn about the lives, the stories and legends of saints, poets, damsels, popes, noble families, bankers, the rich and the poor. Who lived and still live in Siena. We will visit the Palace of a Sienese Noble Family, the City Hall and the Cathedral of Siena where we will learn the stories of artists and alchimists and we will wander through the maze of the Santa Maria della Scala Medieval Hospital. We will not forget to talk about Pia dè Tolomei who Dante met in his journey to Hell Purgatory and Paradise in the 1300 C. Then we will meet Dante's rival in poetry and politics Cecco Angiolieri, and ghosts, musicians, witches and saints… This is going to be a very interesting and enthralling tour both for adults and children, you will feel like journalists in the italian history….
We will meet at the basilica San Domenico where we will introduce the history and tradition of the town where I was born. The fist historic character will be Saint Catherine of Siena and her spirituality in a church where frescoes and stunning medieval tempera altarpiece are still the original. Then we will walk through the medieval streets of the districts of Siena revealing art and beauty around every corner. We will taste the ricciarelli and panforte special Siena cakes and if you wish we can also enjoy a wine tasting. Siena Cathedral will be in our walk and the civic museum where the medieval republic of Siena commissioned the gorgeous good and bad government frescoes to Ambrogio Lorenzetti. Siena was really the competitor of Florence along the Roman pilgrims way and her merchant families and popes invited to work in Sirna Michelangelo Donatello and Bernini to name just a few. . . .
