3Siena – The Gothic Gem of Tuscany
Siena is a living example of medieval elegance and artistic harmony. Its heart, Piazza del Campo, is one of Italy’s most beautiful squares, and the city’s cathedral, Duomo di Siena, dazzles with black-and-white marble and intricate sculptures by Pisano and Donatello.
Inside the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, you can admire Duccio’s Maestà, a masterpiece that influenced generations of painters. The frescoes in Palazzo Pubblico, especially Lorenzetti’s Allegory of Good and Bad Government, are early political artworks that still resonate today. Siena’s art glows with history and idealism, preserving the beauty of a world guided by balance and order.
