Your Itinerary

Duomo di Siena

An exciting full imersion in almost 6 centuries of history...from the first construction to the rebuilding never realised. The external decorative richness is nothing compared to the internal one. You will be overwhelmed, as Richard Wagner did, by the beauty of marbles, of the statues, of the sculpture carved by Donatello, Michelangelo and Bernini (the three great sculptors have worked here!), of the little jem, the Piccolomini Library. But you don't have to look only up, but also to look down. Indeed, one of the Cathedral's wonders is its floor which is a wonderful book of history, teology and philosophty. Don't worry: we will move "lightly" in between...

Rosella was awesome…very knowledgeable & friendly. We arrived late due to driving issues; she helped us navigate and didn’t make us feel more stressed for being late. Thank you!👍

Una meraviglia all'esterno, ma ancor di più all'interno grazie anche alla descrizione appassionata della guida locale; si respira il tempo che passa fra opere d'arte di valore inestimabile ed un'architettura che lascia senza fiato.
