Siena

[Florentina]

I have been advised to visit Siena in the Tuscany region on my next visit to Italy. The Piazza del Campo, with a 300-foot bell tower (Torre de Mangia) on top, apparently offers a view over beautiful countryside. Does anyone know this town? Is it worth staying over in Siena, or shall I just pass through?

I think you should visit everything possible!
I may sound like a crazy person but I'm always fascinated about new cities, new landscapes, etc.

I think that, since we only have one life, we should make the best of it and if you like to travel you should see everything that comes your way.
I read a quote on the internet that I agree with 100%: "our life is like a book and whoever doesn't travel only reads one page". I have no idea who said it but it's a beautiful quote.

It is truly a beautiful quote, Rosie, and very true. I will listen to your advice and visit as many places as possible in Italy - old and new, large and small, famous and hidden away.
