Siena is a beautiful hillside town in Toscana where I will hopefully (fingers crossed!) be living next summer. I was captured by the beautiful architecture and the tranquility I felt after just having visited tourist hot-spots such as Florence and Venice. It was to get away from big crowds for a day.
Sorry my photos are not the greatest--these are completely raw and have gone straight from my camera to this blog. I'm hoping to get Photoshop in the near future so I can show beautiful places with justice!

Hi Alessia,
ReplyDeletei live in rome and your beautiful words made me stop and think about the city i live in.
people just give for granted too many things... where i see too much traffic, a tourist sees the amazing architecture of the building across the street... you know what i mean?
so thank you!
your blog is lovely!
You will be living in Sienna?! You are so lucky! It's a lovely little place :)
ReplyDeleteAnother perfect Italian town...Sienna! We spent one week there on our honeymoon, and I will never forget the incredible food, delicious wine, beautiful sunsets, and gracious people! I hope we visit again soon.
