I am coming to the end of my first week in Siena. Words cannot describe how beautiful this city is. I feel like I am in a movie. My days have been jammed packed with excursions, orientation, and finding my way around the city.
I finally got to try the amazing gelato and it was just as good as everyone was telling me!
The Piazza del Campo is the heart of Siena and was constructed in the 12th century. It is a great meeting place and people come here at night to sit under the tower and hang out with friends.
Here is the my first Italian dinner!
The Duomo Cathedral is breathtakingly beautiful and contains art of Pisano, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Bernini. Every corner of the cathedral has extremely detailed art and paintings. This gothic-Renaissance style cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and represents the history and people of Siena.
Overall this has been a great start to my great Italian adventure and I can’t wait to start school tomorrow!
Until Next Time,
The Italian Duck
