Siena
Lying On Three Gentle Heights, Between The
Metallifere Hills And The Chianti Mountains,
Siena Surprises For Its Urban Layout, Dotted With
Towers, Austere Palazzos And Narrow Winding
Streets, In Fact, It Has Preserved All The Charm
Of A Medieval Town.
Etruscan In Origin, Its Name Has Been Traced To
The Legendary Hero Senius, Son Of Remus, Who Had
Fled From Rome.
At The Time Of Augustus It Was An Important Roman
Military Presidium.
The Nerve Centre Of The Via Francigena And
Governed By Bishops Until The Tenth Century, The
Town, From The Twelfth Century Was Ruled By
Consuls, Under Whom In The Middle Ages It
Prospered Notably, Despite Bloody Struggles With
Neighbouring Communes, Above All With Florence,
Its Most Bitter Enemy. After Victory Gained In
The Historic Battle Of Montaperti In 1260, Siena
Was Defeated In 1269 By Florence, And Was
Therefore Controlled Until 1355 By The Guelph
Government Of The Nine.
The Economic And Artistic-cultural Flowering Of
This Epoch Was Remarkable, Indeed The Magnificent
Palazzo Pubblico And The Slender Mangia Tower
Belong To The Period, Both Fine Examples Of
Gothic Architecture, And The Palazzo Tolomei, One
Of The Oldest Buildings In Siena.
After A Period Of Decline, Followed By A Terrible
Pestilence, The Town, First Governed By Pandolfo
Petrucci Then, Midway Through The Fifteenth
Century, By The Spaniards, In 1559, With The
Treaty Of Cateau-cambr Sis, Entered Into The
Stato Mediceo And Immediately Afterwards Into
That Of The Lorenese Until 1859, The Year In
Which It Was Annexed Into The Kingdom Of Italy.

Value, The Gothic Churches Of S. Domenico And S.
Francesco, The Spedale Di Santa Maria Della
Scala, Built Between The Ninth And The Eleventh
