An Evening or Two in Siena

I honestly didn't think we would find anywhere to park when we got to the beautiful hill-top city of Siena. Having travelled there and circled round a bit at last Chris found a space and we spend a wonderful evening wandering the streets. We ate in the main square where there always seems to be some excitment the first evening there was a sort of 'Battle of the Bands' going on with marching/dancing bands coming in off the various streets that lead to the square. The beautiful square which is so familiar from so many films, unfortunately Daniel Craig did not emerge from any of the man-holes. We also re-visited the following week to take even more photos and soak up more Tuscan atmosphere. This time there was a huge parade with a lot of flag waving, it was an amazing spectacle

 

The Duomo



Beautiful building

Every street is a picture!

Xenia and Anastasia



Anastasia being a glamorous Italian

Xenia also

A scene from Letters to Juliet was filmed here



Il Campo without the horses or Daniel Craig

The red t-shirts are a band

We bought some beautiful ties from this shop

They marched all the way round Il Campo then waved and threw flags. Very exciting!

Are we or are we not in Italy!!!!!
