The Siena Companion

A shell-shaped square, a striped cathedral, and a color the world named after this very city --- medieval Tuscany at its finest, with room to make it yours. The Siena Companion's signature chapter takes on a question most visitors never think to ask: Understanding the Contrade. Siena isn't really one city --- it's seventeen tiny ones, each with its own flag, church, museum, and fierce sense of self.
