A city of art with a glorious past and a rich present, Siena is in the heart of Tuscany, between the evocative landscapes of the Crete Senesi to the south, with the sweeping curves of hills with dirt roads and lines of cypress trees, and the Chianti to the north, with its woods which mark out the horizon and attractive expanses of olive trees and vineyards.
Siena 's medieval appearance, reflecting the era of its greatest splendour; is evident in its narrow alleyways buildings and small squares, and in the warm, rich colours of the red bricks: "the scorched land of Siena".
Today it is a small university town; it's closed to traffic which enables you to can walk around comfortably day and night, offering a high quality of life: among the most appealing qualities is in fact that it is a very safe city.
The city offers rich treasures of works of art, monuments, traditions and with the wonderful array of tastes of its cuisine. The cultural events exist in all seasons: exhibitions, festivals of classical and jazz music, dance and the most anticipated occasion: The Palio (2nd July and 16th August) in the charming Piazza del Campo, the heart of the city.
Siena is all of this: an ideal environment for you to conquer with us your challenge with the Italian language and to live an unforgettable adventure. |
