- Siena, Tuscany, Italy
(Our final stop on this Tuscany day tour is the town of Siena. Its claim to fame is the town square, regarded as the most beautiful medieval piazza in Europe, called the Piazza del Campo. Every year, it holds an annual horse race - the Palio - right in the middle of this shell-shaped square, with sharp turns causing many injuries. Siena's history is so intertwined with that of Florence, both fighting for supremacy in the old days. The Siena Cathedral here is also supposed to rival the Florence Cathedral in beauty and complexity. We stopped at the A Nannini patissieri, located along its main walkway and had a great cup of cocoa, and also wrapping up 10 pieces of its famous ricciarelli, its equivalent of macaron, to enjoy back at the hotel)
