Siena: birthplace of the Gothic style

The town, Etruscan establishment and Roman colony, still maintainsthe featuresof its ‘’Golden Age’’, the Middle Age, in which it lived its heyday before the Black Death in 1348. The old town offers monuments and museums that witness a glorious past and the presence of important andinternationally known artists.. As the first hardwired town in Italy, Siena still preserves medieval roofs, not even defaced by satellite antennas or dishes.
