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.
