Siena Italy


Siena is a beautiful walled city, considered Florence's sister/rival city way back in the day.  It was about an hour from our villa.  A gorgeous drive through rolling Tuscan countryside.  And it was busy, hard to find parking outside the walls but once we wandered in a very neat experience.

Siena felt like Italy with it's narrow, steep, winding streets of old buildings, shops & cafes

The Duomo, if you haven't figured it out all Italian cities have a Duomo.  Other places you would call it Church, Cathedral, Dom....


Beautiful pottery. Definitely a look with your eyes & not with your hands

Ill Campo, Siena's main square

It slopes down & functions like an amphitheater

Even in October it was very warm, we were having a gelatto break

It isn't Italy if you don't see Italian leather shops....everywhere!!
