    The Piazza del Duomo di Pisa, or Piazza dei Miracoli, is a truly incredible place, where you can observe and visit the main beauties of the Tuscan city. In this huge square there are in fact 4 of the main places of interest in Pisa: the famous Leaning Tower the Baptistery of San Giovanni the monumental Camposanto the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Needless to say, despite this feature, it is by far the most visited area of the city, attracting millions of tourists every year.

    Crete Senesi

    The landscape of the Crete is the triumph of essentiality and harmony, it is a timeless image, a painting in which the shapes of an Etruscan graffiti and a sign of modern art merge. It is a harmony that enters you and has the power to rebalance your energies: emotions and sensations are transformed and dilated in the calm of space.

    Piazza del Campo

    The top attraction of Siena is Piazza del Campo, the heart of the historic center and city life, it is a sort of funnel in which the three main streets of the center converge. On the square overlook historic buildings of great beauty: among these the most famous are the Palazzo Pubblico, the Torre del Mangia, Cappella di Piazza and Palazzo Sansedoni.

    San Casciano Val Di Pesa

    Located in the valley of the river Pesa, which crosses the Chianti. It is a town on the outskirts of Florence, which is worth visiting to admire the traces of its walls and medieval towers. The Museum of Sacred Art set up inside the Church of S. Maria del Gesù houses valuable works of art from the territory: among the most important works, we point out the dossal attributed to Coppo di Marcovaldo representing St. Michael the Archangel and stories of his legend, and the Madonna and Child by Lorenzetti.

    Duomo di Siena

    The second most important square in Siena, also very visited but perhaps less famous internationally than the Campo, is Piazza del Duomo. On it overlooks the religious building symbol of the city: the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, better known as the Cathedral of Siena. It is one of the greatest examples of Romanesque-Gothic architecture in Italy, with an external façade characterized by a two-tone black and white and elaborate decorations.
