Siena is a wondrous city of magical landscape and majestic buildings. Between the vast history of the city and the hundreds of grapes grown here, Siena maintains itself as one of the most beautiful and diverse cities in Tuscany.
Walking through Siena the smells of sangiovese grapes will erode your senses. The winding and hilly roads lead to the main square in which the horse race, Il Pailo, takes place dating back centuries ago.
Standing where Saint Benedict stood many times and gave some of the best speeches known to man, I can see the true origins of Siena. The narrow streets dictate the neighborhoods that separated this great Tuscan city as the Piazza Del Campo unites it.
Venturing outside of the city square, a garden oasis awaits. I step outside to a stone patio, climb the stairs and pass through the garden gates. Passing under trees and past tomato plants leads to a magnificent view of the city and the countryside. I soak in the view, the history and the legacy.
