SIENA TOUR FROM ROME OR SHORE EXCURSION FROM CIVITAVECCHIA

Siena tour is an immersive experience in a rascimental town. As soon as you enter the city of Siema we will arrive in the main square, Campo Square.This is the square where the stake is played every year, during July and August. The horse race of the stake is so famous in the world that even Queen Elizabeth wanted to have a taste by inviting Siena to make the stake in England.

Cathedral with a black and white façade, you can get lost in the esoteric religious symbols or admire the frescoes by Pinturicchio.Finally you can feel the presence of Michelangelo vibrating, who worked in 1501 to make the statues in the Piccolomini Library.
A descent into the world of color will lead you into the bowels of the cathedral, in what is commonly called “Crypt“, one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the last twenty years. Here it is possible to admire a pictorial cycle of singular beauty realized by a series of Sienese artists in the second half of the thirteenth century.

Baptistery and the Santa Maria della Scala complex will capture your interest. The first is the most important sacred place in the city full of works of art such as the baptismal font by Jacopo della Quercia.Today the second born to welcome the most needy is a museum. In the Museum there are preserved two complexes of fundamental importance for the history of Italian art: the statues sculpted by Giovanni Pisano for the facade of the Duomo and the Majesty by Duccio di Buoninsegna built for the high altar.
Surely for a panoramic picture of Siena we can only recommend climbing the Tower of the Eat.

COMBO TOUR SIENA – SAN GIMIGNANO

Continuing the tour to the city of San Gimignano, we will have the opportunity to see one of the places marked by UNESCO. There are many here and many have traced their passage. Like Dante who in 1300 arrived in San Gimignano as ambassador of the Guelphs. San Gimignano is the most characteristic of the Tuscan villages. The city is surrounded by impressive towers that dominate the landscape, which have remained miraculously intact over the centuries. You can walk along the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrim way of Roman times, or get lost in the narrow streets of the city, among the artisan shops and delicious little places that dot the historic center, where you can taste the most famous locally produced wine, Vernaccia.
