Hello, when did you go? What time of year?

[@Kristinahouwer]

This was in mid May

[@ela-gf4oz]

Buongiorno cara Kristina ❤ Just preparing our journey to Turin and Siena soon - your both vlogs are wonderful and very helpful - grazie mille 🥰

[@Kristinahouwer]

So happy to hear that, have a beautiful time there ! They’re very special places

[@yourtravelfriendanna]

The Duomo is my fav! The detail inside is so crazy!

[@Kristinahouwer]

I agree ! Was so surreal. The architecture is astounding

[@Vitaliy-speciallyfor_KristinaH]

Ты привела хороший пример! Я уже и забыл про Бермудский треугольник, а ведь объяснения этому феномену, наверное нет до сих пор. Про каменных истуканов я ещё в детстве читал целую статью в научно-популярном журнале, там учёный пытался их переместить и понять, как это вышло у древних- не смог. То есть ты интересуешься! А тайна перемещения блоков при строительстве пирамид раскрыта. Если ты об этом говоришь?

[@Kristinahouwer]

Da, ob etom! Ya chitala raznie teorii, ne znayu kakaya pravilnaya

[@scottman895]

Siena looks quite nice! I really like how walkable the city is given the fact that it is a lot smaller than many other Italian cities including in Tuscany. Great video!

[@Kristinahouwer]

Thanks ! Yes walkable cities will always have my vote and Siena is definitely one of them

[@12411552]

[@carlosmaganasegovia8598]

Very beautiful Siena. Touring the cultural heritage and discovering it's history is a joy. Without a doubt, the cathedral stands out.

[@Kristinahouwer]

Thank you Carlos , I agree - the cathedral is breathtaking both inside and outside

Наша дочь, Диана, пробует работать в свободное от учёбы время в сети быстрого питания Subway уже около 2 недель. Делает сэндвичи, моет полы и прочее. Пока ей нравится, но я думаю, что её обманут с зарплатой. А ты в 16 лет в рекламе уже снималась?

[@Kristinahouwer]

Kakaya molodec ! Ya v 16 let tozhe rabotala letom (v butike s odezhdoy) i inogda bili syemki no tolko po vixodnim

Love your video, but I'd like to point out that the Palazzo Pubblico was not meant to be the town hall of the city, but the seat of the government of the Republic of Siena, that was an independent republic that ruled over most of the southern half of tuscany. The palace itself was where the three branches of government, legislative, executive and judiciary were located. The building on the left at 2:45 was where the hall of the parlament of the republic (Sala grande del consiglio della repubblica, now a theather) was located. The palace itself become the Town Hall centuries later with the loss of independence. Compared to the USA, the Palazzo Pubblico was basically the White House, Congress and Supreme Court buildings combined. Hope that helped. cheers

[@Kristinahouwer]

Awesome ! Thanks for watching , appreciate it 🤩

[@jaydubdiscoveries]

I can see why that underground section was scary and unnerving, even with someone else that would be creepy! Great video.

[@Kristinahouwer]

Thanks for watching ! And yes even looking back at the video still creeps me out at that part haha

[@ComicComic-n9w]

🇮🇹🤔Why is the Roman She-Wolf featured in Siena? The she-wolf suckling the twins Romulus and Remus is certainly the most important symbol of ancient Rome. As a figurative theme, the image dates back to the 2nd century BC, at least if we take into consideration the dating of the she-wolf preserved in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. Those who walk through the historic centre of Siena come across columns located in certain points of the city with the she-wolf suckling the twins above them. The presence of a purely Roman symbol in the Tuscan city is justified by a legend, known since the Middle Ages, which from the Renaissance takes on an “elegant literary guise”. The myth of the Rome foundation, linked to the twins Romulus and Remus, is certainly known to most, as is the fact that, following some legitimation problems, Remus was killed by his brother Romulus. Well, it is precisely on the myth of the foundation of Rome that the legend of the Roman origins of Siena was born and developed. History has it that the Tuscan city was founded by the sons of Remus, Aschio and Senio who, to escape the wrath of their uncle Romulus, fled Rome, taking the Capitoline she-wolf with them, stealing it from the temple of Apollo. The lore also wants that, having arrived on the Tuscan hills, Senio founded Siena (in Latin Sena) and Aschio the village of Asciano. Since the founder of Siena was a Roman according to this legend, Siena could be considered as the legitimate heir of the Roman world. Tracing the origins of Siena back to the time in which Rome would also be born responded to the precise desire - almost the need - to legitimise one’s existence through the “discovery” of noble roots and, at the same time, to claim a status of superiority compared to those cities that did not have these noble origins. Furthermore, the fact that such roots have been traced back to the ancient Romans is not accidental. Although the empire had fallen for centuries, in the Middle Ages Rome was still considered the capital of the world. Those who visited the city could still admire the grandiose ruins of what was once a glorious civilisation. Therefore, the Capitoline she-wolf, a symbol of Rome’s glorious past, became the symbol of Siena in the Middle Ages, which almost became a new Rome. While this is the official version of the story, hardly anyone knows the important moment when the She-Wolf begins to be represented. Everything connects to a precise moment and happens for very particular reasons in the history of Siena…

We did a tour in Sienna last year. It was beautiful, no doubt about that, however, I would never return. This is not somewhere for anyone that cannot basically hike. All the roads we went on were close to being straight up and down. It was not enjoyable at all. This is definitely something that tour sites should mention. There were 2 couples left behind because they didn't make it back to the bus in time. They couldn't climb the roads fast enough to return. Unfortunately that was a hefty bill for them to cab it back to Rome.

[@Kristinahouwer]

You’re absolutely right - the cobbled roads are steep there and i am so thankful i wore comfortable shoes but i don’t think i would have been able to do the tour at all had i not been fit/ healthy.

[@atekle1382]

calling duomo creepy is bit too much for me

[@Kristinahouwer]

Thanks for watching 😘

[@christianbrenes664]

Ste wasn't referring to the duomo.
