On
top of a hill,
surrounded by walls, one
of the better kept
Middle Age towns of the
country. The
French road,
the
Guelph and Ghibellines,
the
Vernaccia wine,
all witnesses of
centuries of history.
Monteriggioni,
a
fortress of the 1200
with 14 watch towers, “a
crown on a King’s head”,
this is what it looked
like to Dante.
A terrible obstacle to
the Florentine armies
through the 15th
century. A good stop for
a country lunch.
Siena, the gothic dream
City. The
Duomo with its
coloured bands of
marble, dating from the
12th century. The
stunning interiors, with
the Pulpit of
Niccolò Pisano.
The Hospital of
Santa Maria alla Scala
with the recently opened
room of the Pilgrims, a
showcase of frescoes of
the 1400.
Piazza del Campo,
the race track for the
Palio shaped as a shell,
with the palazzo
Pubblico, filled with
important works of art.
As we stand in the
middle of the
Piazza del Campo,
images are conjured of
the infamous Senesi
tradition which is more
about the sub-culture of
its people than on a
horse winning a race. |
