La Pinacoteca nazionale di Siena: I dipinti (Italian Edition)

SAGEP

This large-format paperback acts as a souvenir and guide to the city of the Palio, the horse race that takes place twice every summer in the Campo, the main square of the Renaissance city of Siena. The author is Superintendent to the Artistic and Historical Assets of the Provinces of Siena and Grosseto and provides the text accompanying the pictures, describing the cultural treasures that can be seen within the city walls. It also covers the details of the contrade and how they contribute to the preservation of the vibrant older way of life that can be seen by the visitor today.
