Carol G. says,


"One day we took a train ride to Siena, which is a walled city with streets leading into the Piazza del Campo. In medieval times, Siena and Florence competed for dominance and had regular wars between the cities. Ultimately, Siena declined when disease (Black Death) decimated the population. Now the city seems to be frozen in time, with so many original buildings.


Florence is the site of some amazing art; in fact around every corner this is art! From sculptures to mosaics to paintings, there is so much to see."
