Luckily enough I live and work in a beautiful, Tuscan province which is rich of green areas such as Parco delle Foreste Casentinesi<\/span><\/strong>, of breathtaking views and history... nearly every place is a clear example of historical stratification: firstly the Etruscans, secondly the Romans, thirdly the Early Middle Ages, then the free Communes, Renaissance and all the rest before us!\nIn my province there are imposing monuments and small and hidden works of art which often speak to the visitor\u2019s soul: I think of the Valdarno Pievi<\/strong><\/span>, of Camaldoli Hermitage and Monastery<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>, of La Verna Sanctuary<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, of Cerbaiolo<\/strong><\/span>, Le Celle <\/strong><\/span>and Montecasale Hermitages <\/strong><\/span>... all plunged into a green silence.\nThere are archaic feasts such as La Maggiolata di Lucignano <\/span><\/strong> and ancient tournaments such as la Arezzo\u2019s Giostra del Saracino <\/span><\/strong><\/span>, Sansepolcro\u2019s Palio della Balestra, Cortona\u2019s Giostra dell\u2019Archidado <\/span><\/strong> and they have been talking about Carnival at Foiano della Chiana <\/strong><\/span> for almost five hundred years! There are fairs all year round and nearly everywhere: the ones called \u201cPerdoni\u201d <\/span><\/strong> in Valdarno, the fairs of the Steak and of Copper in Cortona<\/span><\/strong>, the fairs of the Dressed Stone and of Wrought Iron in Casentino<\/span><\/strong>, the ancient St. Catherine's Fair in Monte S. Savino <\/span><\/strong>, also called \"of the horse and of the whistling hand-warmer\", Sestino\u2019s Fair of the Chianina Breed <\/strong><\/span> in the Upper Tiber Valley, the Antiques\u2019 Fair in Arezzo <\/span><\/strong>.\nApart from all that, there are places which are both beautiful and evocative such as Ponte Buriano <\/strong><\/span>, also called Monna Lisa Bridge, Poppi Castle <\/span><\/strong> with Simone da Battifolle\u2019s ghost and Sorci Castle with Sorci <\/strong><\/span> Baldaccio d\u2019Anghiari\u2019s one; there is Sansepolcro's Aboca Museum<\/span><\/strong> which is about herbs and ancient cultures, it is really a sensorial museum; there is Cortona\u2019s Melone 2 del Sodo<\/strong><\/span>, an Etruscan hypogeum with a terrace-altar telling about the 6thc. bC rites and architecture and there are also the \u201cFairies\u2019 Mountains\u201d <\/strong><\/span> in Valdarno which, apart from their name and fascinating look, only echo the toil of our peasants who lived there till about the 1960\u2019s.\nOur gastronomy <\/strong><\/span> is still very much influenced by their ancient culture and therefore our food is simply prepared, extremely tasty and always matches with excellent oil and wine <\/strong><\/span> which are still made as peasants used to. At Anghiari there is Molino Ravagni<\/strong><\/span> which has been producing oil for at least 500 years and there is also Manifattura Busatti <\/strong><\/span> where beautiful fabrics have been woven <\/strong><\/span> since the mid-nineteenth c. with first quality yarns and ancient patterns. And then there are the ceramics made in Valdichiana<\/span><\/strong>, the extremely colourful and warm woollen cloth named \u201cPanno\u201d from Casentino<\/strong><\/span> and Piero della Francesca\u2019s works... <\/strong>there is colour and beauty everywhere!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Once a tourist wrote to me: \u201dI envy you the beauty that surrounds you!\u201d.\nI also believe that living here is a privilege, which I would like to share\u2026\nas a guide I know I can!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Siena, Pienza e…” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”Noto Sans||||||||” tab_font=”Noto Sans||||||||” background_color=”#fafafa” background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Curiosity has made me find out and deeply know also Siena<\/span><\/strong> and its province where I have always discovered something surprising: a view, a painting, a sculpture\u2026\nSiena, a Unesco site since 1995,<\/p>\n is a very special town indeed: not only is there a noticeable number of imposing Renaissance buildings such as Palazzo Spannocchi<\/span><\/strong>, the Loggia della Mercanzia<\/span><\/strong>, il Palazzo del Magnifico<\/span><\/strong>, Palazzo di San Galgano<\/span><\/strong>, Logge del Papa<\/span><\/strong>; Siena really lets you plunge into the Middle Ages too. The names of many streets and alleys echo the medieval activities which were carried out in this rich and lively town: Vicolo dei Borsellai<\/strong><\/span>, dei Pollaioli<\/strong><\/span>, Via di Beccheria<\/strong><\/span> with a lot of butchers\u2019 and Via di Pian d\u2019Ovile<\/strong><\/span> where shepherds used to live; Via dei Pittori<\/strong><\/span> where workers used to die cloths which were later dried in Vicolo del Tiratoio<\/strong><\/span> or Via della Stufa Secca<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span> In Siena there are streets named Costa dell\u2019Incrociata,Via del Costone<\/strong><\/span>, Vicolo del Costaccino<\/strong><\/span> and Costa Larga<\/strong><\/span>: all these synonyms stand for \u201cshort, steep street\u201d and are all certainly avoidable, but I must admit that Siena is a most irregular hill town! In fact, in 2003 Siena started to organize walking tours away from the most renowned corners in order to favour slow tourism which is good both for people\u2019s body and mind: the initiative meets with great success on 31 October of each year and is largely imitated all over Italy.<\/p>\n The Piazza del Campo <\/span><\/strong> is an unusually steep square which is partly bordered by the largest gothic public palace in Italy and is the fantastic setting for a wild race, the Palio<\/span><\/strong> , organized by the fiery Sienese people: after all, only in Siena there is an alley named Dog and Cat! I like to remember Via dei Pispini too, where a beautiful fountain was placed in the mid-16th c. and the people liked it so much that they named the street after its jets (pispini).\nYes, the Sienese people are straightforward, lively and passionate persons who are fond of their town. Surely enough, both your eyes and heart will be filled with Siena\u2019s art and passions; you may even take a bit of its culture home \u2026 if you buy its delicious panforte!<\/p>\n You can also find a lot of culture at Pienza<\/span><\/strong>, formerly called Corsignano, where the Piccolomini family had large properties. Enea Silvio Piccolomini was born there in 1405 and, after a successful diplomatic career, he became a priest who was very soon appointed bishop, later cardinal and finally Pope as Pious II in 1458.<\/p>\n He was a humanist and a writer who has left us his autobiography, I Commentarii, with a lot of information about the restoration works which were carried out in his native town in order to make the first Italian Renaissance square with the help of a famous architect: Bernardo Gambarelli, nicknamed il Rossellino.<\/span><\/p>\n Piazza Pio II<\/span><\/strong> is just magic: if you look at the cathedral you may have the feeling that it is proceeding towards you; if you turn against it, the square seems even larger with its perfect perspective. The Piccolomini Palace <\/span><\/strong>Palace and all the other buildings around it give their contribution to its beauty and harmony which are also the qualities of the spacious Cathedral<\/strong>, <\/span> where the gold of the five altar-pieces glitters in the sunset light.<\/p>\n Pienza too is a Unesco site where you can also visit a most interesting Diocesan Museum and the Pieve di Corsignano which is full of fascinating primitive sculptures, crawling snakes included. Last but not least, from Pienza you can have a unique view of Val d\u2019Orcia which is made of beauty and harmony<\/span><\/strong> e again. Apart from that\u2026 the whole Sienese province impresses any visitor with its most various landscapes: there are the lunar Crete <\/strong><\/span> and the volcano dominating The Amiatino<\/span><\/strong>, the rough Chianti<\/span><\/strong> hills and the smooth and mellow Val di Chiana<\/span><\/strong>; there are the green Val di Merse<\/strong><\/span>, Val d\u2019Elsa and Val d\u2019Orcia, a valley which is so beautiful to be protected by Unesco as a rare jewel.<\/p>\n A widespread, deep religious feeling has produced unique temples such as San Biagio at Montepulciano and the abbeys at Monte Oliveto, Sant\u2019Antimo and San Galgano; the Middle Ages tower above San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Colle Val d\u2019Elsa, while elsewhere the green serpentine and the white and yellow marbles of Siena cathedral crop out.<\/span><\/p>\n There are spas all over the Sienese province, which have been known for some 2,000 years: there are forty-two of them at San Casciano only and some maintain that \u201cthey are the most beautiful spas in the world\u201d<\/span><\/strong> \u201cthey are the most beautiful spas in the world\u201d; there are the ones at Petriolo where Pope Pious II used to go, differently from Lorenzo de\u2019 Medici who preferred Bagni di San Filippo on Mount Amiata. Saint Catherine plunged herself into the warm waters of Bagno Vignoni, while at Radicondoli you can find a 19th c. spa inside a natural reserve. Rapolano offers waters of different temperatures and roman baths, but Emperor Augustus\u2019 personal practitioner recommended Fontes Clusinae which were very close to Chianciano Terme. Apart from wine, Montepulciano has recently found out that it can offer first quality thermal waters as well.<\/p>\n A glass of Chianti Classico<\/span><\/em><\/strong>, Brunello di Montalcino<\/span><\/em><\/strong> or Nobile di Montepulciano<\/span><\/em><\/strong> can easily express the special flavour of this territory, especially if it is matched withi salumi di cinta senese<\/span><\/em><\/strong>, il pecorino di Pienza<\/span> <\/em><\/strong> or with pici<\/span><\/em><\/strong> , the delicious homemade spaghetti, the best of which can be tasted at Celle sul Rigo May Fair.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Perch\u00e9 una guida autorizzata?” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”Noto Sans||||||||”

. In Siena you can find the largest collection of gothic paintings with a golden background: therefore, there is Vicolo degli Orefici<\/strong><\/span> dedicated to Siena\u2019s goldsmiths, and Vicolo dell\u2019Oro<\/span><\/strong>; reminding us of the pure gold used for 14th and 15th c. paintings. There is Costarella dei Barbieri<\/strong><\/span>, because there used to be several barberie where the owner acted both as a barber and a general practitioner. Last but not least, there are Via Banchi di Sopra<\/strong><\/span> and Via Banchi di Sotto<\/span><\/strong> along which you should imagine the Sienese money changers\u2019 stalls waiting for the foreign pilgrims going to Rome through the Francigena road<\/span><\/strong>; actually, there is still Via dei Pellegrini<\/strong><\/span>.\nThere are streets reminding us of the most popular Via di S. Caterina<\/strong><\/span> (Via di Santa Caterina, Via del Sasso di San Bernardino<\/strong><\/span> who, together with the four patron saints and the Blessed, are all gathered around the Madonna to whom the Sienese people are deeply devout and asked for protection many times: the first on the occasion of Montaperti battle and the last in 1944.The two Palio races (on July 2nd and August 16th) are also dedicated to the Madonna and the big bell on top of Torre del Mangia is called Sunto after l\u2019Assunta that is Our Lady of Assumption!\nFairly enough, in Siena there is the Street of Wisdom (Via della Sapienza<\/strong><\/span>) because it is definitely a cultured town where a Doctor of the Church was born (Saint Catherine) and many university students lived since the mid-13th century; just the ones who had imported an archaic tennis which was played with a ball thrown by the players\u2019 palms beyond a rope tied across Vicolo della Pallacorda<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Anyway, I think that the real magic<\/strong> of the Sienese province can be found at
Sarteano<\/span><\/strong> where one can meet a frightening demon and the sweetest soaring angel\u2026<\/p>\n
To see beyond beauty...<\/strong><\/span>
<\/p>\n
Why choose a freelancer?<\/strong><\/span>
\nBecause his only guarantee is quality.<\/p>\n
Why just me?<\/strong><\/span>
\nI am highly experienced, I love art and share it passionately.<\/p>\n
Any other good reason?<\/strong><\/span>
\nApart from the tourist sites which everybody visits, I know very special places all over the two provinces!<\/p>\n\n
