We suggest you visit one of the cities that marked the history of medieval Italy. Siena was one of the most important Tuscan communes and an economic power supported by the efforts of its artisans and merchants between the XII and XV centuries. The inhabitants of the city claimed their regime of republican government and decisively promoted the cultural and artistic splendor of the Italian Trecento.

Our trip wants to explain in situ and in detail the history of Siena in all its aspects, with the aim, above all, to get to understand what a medieval city represents.

We will visit the monuments that testify its greatness: the Duomo, the convents of San Domenico, San Francesco and Sant'Agostino, the Casa di Santa Catarina, the Palazzo Publico and the Piazza del Campo. We will also propose visits to the Museo dell'Opera Metropolitana del Duomo and the Pinacoteca Nazionale, at the Palazzo Buonsignori.
