For Sale - 4th January 2011  [SOLD]
Siena, Piazza del Campo

Siena was rather impressive despite the tourists, and I would think the subject of the painting, Piazza del Campo, or Il Campo, as the locals call it, would take a huge amount of people before it felt crowded anyway. Its a massive space! This is the site of the famous Palio di Siena - the horse race which takes place twice annually, with bare back jockeys on horses hurtling around the Piazza as they did in medieval times,though I believe they then raced buffalo and donkeys.

Another wonderful discovery in Siena was the mindboggling array of beautiful handbag and shoe shops. So many of them side by side and all seemed excellent quality and well priced. I will have to get back there soon to have a good look around for sure.
