If luck brings the visitor to Siena in September, it is impossible to miss the opportunity to attend the Palio di Siena. The event dates back to the Middle Ages and originates from the riding competitions that the knights of the city held to impress the nobles and the public.

Finally, for those who love art and want to be impressed by the Italian culture in the places from which it originated how to forget a visit to the Baptistery, a 12th century Romanesque building with inside works by Donatello such as the Baptism of Jesus, capable paintings to take anyone's breath away.

The cuisine of Siena
Arriving in the city also means being able to enjoy its delicious, typically Tuscan cuisine with the Florentine steak and Chianti as the highlight of a splendid evening. Trying the extra virgin olive oil typical of the Sienese countryside is truly unique as is getting lost in the culinary specialties such as pici, a homemade pasta.
