(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Piazza del Campo
Piazza Il Campo is the central nucleus of Siena since the roman times which had its forum there. The square was repaved during the Government of the Nine, a semi-democratic group in power between 1287 and 1355, with a division into nine sections in memory of the Government and symbolizes the cloak of the Madonna that protects the city. Piazza Il Campo hosts, twice a year, on July 2nd and August 16th, the famous Palio di Siena, horse race, the most awaited event by all the Sienese people. In the square, you can admire the Fonte Gaia, the largest city fountain decorated, in its original version, with sculptures by Jacopo Della Quercia. The Source we see today is a copy, made of Carrara marble, much more resistant than the original Montagnola Senese Marble used by Della Quercia (the ancient restored Source is visible in the Museum Complex of Santa Maria della Scala).
Duomo di Siena
The main church called Duomo is located in the homonym square located above Piazza Il Campo. It is a beautiful Gothic-style complex that houses a large number of treasures signed by Donatello, Pisano, and Michelangelo but also frescoes by the famous Pinturicchio. The Cathedral is of impressive beauty so much so that you just have to admire its exterior to be deeply impressed. Built between 1214 and 1263, it has a Latin cross structure, a not very protruding dome with a bell tower next to it. Both the exterior and the interior are decorated in white marble blocks alternated with thinner greenish-black stripes, these are the representative colors of Siena.
Torre del Mangia
The Torre del Mangia is located in Piazza Il Campo in Siena; it is the civic tower of the Town Hall. It is among the tallest ancient Italian towers (the fourteenth), reaching 88 meters at the height of the last battlements. According to what was written by Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli, the Torre del Mangia, although starting from a lower ground level, reaches the same height as the bell tower of the Cathedral of Siena, this symbolizes the achieved balance between heavenly and earthly power, without neither of the two exceeds and imposes itself on the other.
