When to go to Siena?
Siena's Piazza del Campo is a brick shell tilted towards the town hall, filled twice each summer by the Palio and given over to loafing the rest of the year. The striped marble cathedral and the thin Torre del Mangia set the skyline, and the Pinacoteca holds gold-ground panels by the score. Pici and a glass of red finish the day.
