Panoramic view of the historic city of Siena, Italy

$Siena, located in the heart of Tuscany and surrounded by hills, is one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Italy.\nThe fulcrum of the city is the famous Piazza del Campo, with its particular shell shape, where the famous Palio is held, one of the most important events for all the Sienese. The Palio di Siena is a passionate horse race that takes place every year in July and August and its origins seem to date back to the seventeenth century.\n\nAccording to legend, Siena was founded by Senio, son of Remus, and in the city there are several statues depicting the mythical Romulus and Remus suckled by the she-wolf. Piazza del Campo has been the central nucleus of Siena since the time of the Romans, who had their Forum here.\nThe square was repaved during the Government of the Nine, a semi-democratic group in power between 1287 and 1355, with a subdivision into nine sections in memory of the Government and symbolizes the cloak of the Madonna that protects the city.\n\nThe Campo is dominated by the red Palazzo Pubblico and its tower, called Torre del Mangia. The Palazzo Pubblico, as well as the Duomo of Siena, was built during the Government of the Nine, which was the period of maximum economic and cultural splendor of Siena.$
