 This is a tour into the medieval history of Tuscany. San Gimignano, the small village, known as the "medieval Manhattan" for its skyline of ancient towers which rise over orange-tiled houses and narrow streets.
 Siena, Italy's loveliest medieval city. The "Campo" a shell shaped square forms its heart, providing the stage for the "Palio" a famous annual medieval horse race. A lot more to visit: the Gothic Cathedral, the Town Hall, the Museo dell'Opera sheltering the most majestic of all Siena's paintings, Duccio's Maestà. A stop also in the village of Monteriggioni, enclosed by its famous walls, still intact.
