Siena. Torre del Mangia

The legend tells that during the construction at the foot of the tower were hidden some lucky coins and that at the 4 corners of the tower there are stones on which are engraved sentences in Latin and Hebraic with the task of keeping away thunders and storms from the tower.

A city with no cars... 3 hr lunch breaks... Il Palio twice a year... and a lifestyle that defines "la dolce vita".
