Siena is a like a chest full of historical, artistic, religious and cultural treasures to be discovered. The best way to do just that is by strolling along its streets, admiring the various transformations that this city has undergone over the centuries, and enjoying the wonderful landscapes and the city’s curiosities. With an authorised guide, you will have the opportunity to take in the major tourist attractions like Piazza del Campo, the true historic heart of the city, the Palazzo Comunale, the Duomo and the majestic Basilica di San Domenico. There will also be some references to the great noble families, like Piccolomini, Tolomei, and Salimbeni and their palaces; the great tradition of the Palio, and also stories of the pilgrims and saints which characterise this city.

The visit will end at the Duomo di Siena, which still preserves treasures by artists such as Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Donatello, Pinturicchio, Gianlorenzo Bernini as well as the wonderful marble floor, a unique example in history of art.

This itinerary crosses the heart of this wonderful gothic city, and will give you a taste of the medieval atmosphere, amid exceptionally preserved palaces and monuments. Starting from the imposing church of San Domenico, where the relics of Saint Catherine of Siena are kept, we will then reach the bustling main street, Banchi di Sopra. Among the most important buildings on this street is the palazzo Salimbeni, today the headquarters of the oldest bank in the world, and also the refined palazzo Tolomei. Unexpectedly, it opens out onto the Piazza del Campo, the true symbol of the city, with the Palazzo Pubblico in the background and the Torre del Mangia at the centre of our attention. We head to Via di Città, a street lined with noteworthy buildings such as the palazzo Chigi-Saracini and the renaissance style palazzo "“Delle Papesse”", built by the Piccolomini family. Finally, we reach the opulent facade of the cathedral, which hosts masterpieces of universally acknowledged importance, and one unique work of art: the marble inlay of the magnificent floor.

The city of Siena, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, offers a fascinating and reflective journey through the lives of saints and those blessed by the church, as described and depicted in the artworks and the most beautiful churches and palazzi in Siena, which create a heavenly court to the Mother of God. Alongside the devotion to the Virgin Mary, celebrated in the numerous shrines throughout the streets and in hidden corners of the city, special attention is paid to Siena's four patron saints, who accompany us on our walk, through the works of famous painters and sculptors over the centuries. The deepest footprints in the religious soul of the city are those left by Sienese saints, Saint Catherine, Saint Bernardine and Saint Bernardo Tolomei, who was canonised in 2009. These saints are still remembered today in prayers, relics, in the places where they spent their lives and for spiritual activity.

City walks are a different way of visiting an artistic city like Siena, and they were in fact developed in this city just a few years ago. The natural differences in height of the terrain in Siena's historical city centre are ideal for interesting and healthy walking itineraries. Walking up and down the alleyways and Siena's typical medieval streets, we can discover its most characteristic corners while doing a bit of exercise, and managing to avoid the most crowded streets. Itineraries can be adjusted according to the time you have available, your interests and your curiosity.

Siena will impress you with its traditions dating back to old times, but which are still alive in the heart of every citizen of Siena. Immersing yourself in the crazy atmosphere of the Palio will allow you to better understand the feelings held by every member of a contrada [town district], not just during the days of the event but throughout the whole year. From the Piazza where the infamous race is run, to the churches where the winning contrada goes to give thanks, and finally to the real streets of the contrade, with their oratory, stable, fountain and museum.

Chianti tells visitors interested in knowing its real essence, a surprising and unexpected story. We will start by following the trail left by the Etruscans, who chose this area because of its fertile land and strategic position. We will then follow a spiritual route where country churches and Romanesque abbeys are surrounded by spectacular nature, in a land filled with medieval villages, which once bore witness to ferocious battles, and now are places of rare beauty.

In all seasons, this visit will allow you to enjoy the view of this unique landscape, a perfect example of harmony between man and nature, in which farmhouses stand alone amid vineyards and olive groves.

We will taste one of the best wines in the world, Chianti Classico as well as other wines, extra-virgin olive oil, and of local gastronomic products.

The breathtaking setting of San Gimignano's tower-houses offers a fascinating journey into the medieval world. A world characterised by rivalries and competition between the most powerful families of the city. A visit within the city walls gives an insight into daily life of the time; interspersed with political and economic events, and by cultural traditions. We can still savour the taste of precious spices, good wine and the variety of artisan goods. All this in an environment rich in priceless works of art and architecture, which make San Gimignano a true medieval treasure that can still be admired today.

The itinerary focuses on the heart of the “Crete Senesi”; a desert-like land south of Siena, continuously changing from season to season, which typifies the landscape of this area.

We will visit Buonconvento, a small village characterised by perfectly preserved city walls. Here the Sienese Middle Ages blend with the refined and elegant Art Nouveau style. From the village, we will go to the Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey, world famous for its beautiful renaissance-style frescoes by Sodoma and Luca Signorelli which adorn the great cloister. Within the abbey complex you must not miss the library, the refectory and the church.

The journey through the rural, urban and monastic life in the areas around Siena, calls on us to take an enthralling socio-historic tour with a broad artistic backdrop. The visit starts in the surprisingly beautiful Sienese countryside, perfectly described in Buonconvento’s sharecropping museum. We then move on into the enchanting place for work and spiritual meditation of Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey, located at the centre of the “Crete Sensesi”, and finish in Pienza, the “ideal city” according to renaissance urban planning. Here, as well as priceless works of art and architecture, visitors can also taste local food, and the marvelous fruits of the land and of man's work.

This itinerary develops to the South West of Siena, in an area located between the “Crete Senesi” and Maremma, which is characterised by flourishing and unspoilt nature, with abundant oak, chestnut woodland and broom shrub land. The wealth of wood, the presence of mines and the waters of the river Merse made this a very rich valley during the Middle Ages, and making it an ideal location on which to establish thermal baths, mills, country churches, fortresses and abbeys. We will visit the Vallombrosan abbey in Torri, with its breathtaking Romanesque cloister, the San Galgano Abbey, a wonderful example of Cistercian architecture, the “open-air” church, and the Hermitage of Montesiepi, with the well-renowned “sword in the stone” and the frescoes by the great Ambrogio Lorenzetti, the medieval villages of Chiusdino, San Galgano's birthplace, and Monticiano.

A real paradise for nature lovers and birdwatchers alike.

Un itinerario nell’essenza del Medioevo, in un contesto urbanistico intatto da sette secoli, fra tesori d’arte e architettura famosi nel mondo : il cuore della città è Piazza Grande, col Palazzo dei Consoli, quello del Podestà, la Cattedrale e il Palazzo Ducale. Dalle Tavole Iguvine, preziosi documenti politici in lingua umbra antica, ai capolavori di pittura di Ottaviano Nelli ; dalle « porte del morto » al folklore della Corsa dei Ceri per il patrono S. Ubaldo : ogni esperienza sarà un’emozione. Da non perdere, infine, la visita del ben conservato Teatro Romano, dove ancora si tiene un’importante stagione di spettacoli durante l’estate.

Dalla scenografica visione del Tempio di S. Maria della Consolazione, gioiello del Rinascimento, si sale nel centro storico seguendo il percorso delle tre cinte di mura che Etruschi, Romani e Comune costruirono fra il VI secolo a.C. e il Duecento : un’emozione unica daranno la gotica chiesa di S. Fortunato con la tomba del mistico e poeta medievale Jacopone da Todi, la Cattedrale, i magnifici palazzi medievali e le chiesette nascoste nella rete di vicoli.

L’antica città romana e capitale longobarda merita più di un giorno di visita. Seguendo le tracce degli antichi Romani visiteremo il teatro, il Ponte delle Torri, la domus coi suoi mosaici, per intersecare la lunga storia dei Longobardi, che qui fondarono un potente ducato : la chiesa di S. Salvatore è un documento del cosiddetto rinascimento liutprandeo. Lo splendido Medioevo spoletino si offre agli occhi attraverso un centro storico davvero incantevole, con la Piazza del Mercato, la Cattedrale, la Fontana del Mascherone e la Rocca Albornoziana.

L’ombelico d’Italia, come viene chiamata dai suoi abitanti, narra ai turisti la storia di una città romana – Fulginium – e del suo ancor più splendido periodo medievale, sotto la signoria dei Trinci. Da non perdere le chiese di S. Maria Infra Portas e S. Silvestro, la bellissima Cattedrale di S. Feliciano e la reggia dei Trinci, coperta di affreschi quattrocenteschi, alcuni opera di Gentile da Fabriano. Dopo una passeggiata nei popolari quartieri medievali lungo il fiume Topino, non si può trascurare un’escursione alla vicina e solitaria abbazia di Sassovivo, dove si conserva il più bel chiostro medievale dell’Italia centrale fuori di Roma.

Una meta insolita e di inaspettata varietà, lungo le sponde del Tevere, fra dolci colline. Visiteremo insieme la bella Cattedrale col Museo Diocesano e il ricchissimo Tesoro del Duomo, prima di immergerci tra i vicoli e le strette vie del centro, oltre l’intatta cinta muraria medievale, per raggiungere la Pinacoteca Comunale dove si conservano dipinti di Raffaello e di altri maestri del Rinascimento. L’autentica sorpresa sarà scoprire i capolavori di Alberto Burri – uno dei massimi artisti del Novecento – nei due musei dedicati al cosiddetto « profeta dell’Informale Materico ».

Stupefacente la convivenza di vestigia del passato romano, con un anfiteatro ancor oggi dedicato a spettacoli estivi, di notevoli documenti del Medioevo e del primo Rinascimento (S. Salvatore, S. Francesco, la Cattedrale, S. Alò), di palazzi nobiliari del Seicento e delle rigorose architetture razionaliste di Mario Ridolfi. Da scoprire, ancora, i modernissimi musei cittadini, la romantica atmosfera della Cascata delle Marmore, una delle più alte d’Europa, e il parco archeologico di Carsulae, sull’antica via Flaminia.

Un anello delle meraviglie fra cinte murarie, resti di templi, teatri, anfiteatri, strade e sepolcri romani, seguendo il filo rosso di un Medioevo e di un Rinascimento di altissimo pregio, dai capolavori del Pintoricchio a Spello a quelli di Benozzo Gozzoli a Montefalco, la « ringhiera dell’Umbria » - come viene detta per il panorama a 360° che offre sui dintorni.

Dopo una giornata fra eremi e chiese, severi palazzi e dolci paesaggi, impossibile rinunciare ad un calice del celebre Sagrantino di Montefalco o degli altri gioielli della viticoltura umbra.
