Made a day trip to Siena today. The Duomo (cathedral) there is incredible. Beautifully painted ceilings, and statues by Donatello and Bernini. But the big highlight was the inlaid marble floors illustrating bible scenes and Siena’s civic pride. (Siena, Tuscany, Italy)
We also toured Contucci winery in Montepulciano. They’ve been making wine for over one thousand years! (San Biagio, Tuscany, Italy)
Toured Talosa’s underground wine cellars in Montepulciano, where they age their famous Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. (Those casks are huge!) (San Biagio, Tuscany, Italy)
It seems like even the tiniest village church in Italy has incredible art inside. This is the Church of Saints Peter and Andrea in Trequandra, Tuscany (pop. 1380), built in 1397. Inside are beautiful frescos of the Ascension, and the Madonna with Child. (Trequanda, Tuscany, Italy)
