| Area Information |
Few Areas In The World Can Boast The Variety Of
Landscape And Economy Distinguishing The
Territory Of Siena. It Begins In The North With
The Incomparable Scenic Beauty Of The Chianti
Lands, With Their Patchwork Of Vines And Olive
Trees Standing Out In Orderly Rows Against The
Hills Tamed By The Farmers* Skill.
Where The Lowlands Have Won Space From The Higher
Ground, As In Poggibonsi And Colle Bassa,
Industrial Development Has Succeded In Weaving A
Compact Fabric Of Small And Medium-sized Firms.
However, It Is On Top Of The Hills That The
People Of Olden Days Erected The Walls Of
Monteriggioni And San Gimignano, Busy Tourist
Centres Nowadays, Silhouetted Like Solitary
Horsemen Against The Profile Of The Moon.
Towards The West Are Waves Of Manifold Panoramas
The Vast Shady Woodlands Of The Montagnola Are
Linked To Those Belonging To The Communes Of
Monticiano And Chiusdino.
The Waters Of The Merse And Farma Rivers Give
Life To Habitats Of Great Naturalistic Interest.
At The Far End Of The Province, The
Humour-swollen Land Pierces The Sky Of
Radicondoli With Jets Of Gas The Geothermal Area
With Its Raging Potential Of Energy Recalls To
Mind The Myth Of The Forge Of The Gods, Or The
Benevolent Trick Of A Joking Underground
Alchimist.
And There Is Still More Variety Reigns South Of
Siena Too.
The Gentle Valley Of The Arbia River, Framed By
Slender Rows Of Poplars, Invites One To Climb Up
The Hills Culminating In The Towered Summit Of
Montalcino, Fatherland Of The Much-prized
Brunello Wine.
Alongside It, The Land Dries Up Into The
Characteristic Scenery Of The *crete* *clay
Hills*, Bread White, Plunging Down Into Eroded
Furrows And Clinging To The Proud, Isolated
Cypresses Atop The Cliffs.
And While, Further East, The Health-giving Waters
Of Rapolano Repair The Many Damages Wrought By
Convulsive Modern Living, Towards The South The
Orcia Valley Completes With Its Severe Mien, That
Part Of Territory Assigned To The Tuscan Agenzia
Per Il Turismo No. 10 Called *siena*. It Is In
Fact The City Of Siena Which Is The Heart Of This
Extraordinary Geographical And Environmental
Repertory, Where Every Town, Village Or Hamlet
Contains Art Treasures And Historical Evidence Of
Priceless Value.
Palio
On August The 16th, There Is A Famous Horse Race
Palio Di Siena, Where 17 *contrade* Which Are The
Historical Sections Of Siena, Compete Against
Each Other Through A Horse Race. Each Contrada Is
Represented By A Horse. This Race Takes Place In
Piazza Del Campo And It Is Attended By Thousands
Of Tourists Every Year.
From The Latin Word Pallium Which Refers To A
Rectangular Piece Of Cloth, And Often Served As A
Banner Or Flag Offered In Honor Of A Patron Saint
Or As A Prize In A Tournament Or Race.
