This Tuscan hill town will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Siena's grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvelous marble floors. The Piazza del Campo, the main town square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horserace in the world. No goofy hats and mint juleps here—this is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones (so as you might imagine, it's quite dangerous). Siena is an easy daytrip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away.

Every concert will show an unique selection of the most famous arias and duets, taken from the great Italian opera. Masterpieces interpreted by great artists who have been performing on stages of the best theaters both in Italy and abroad. Exciting concerts, where you can recollect the passions of Tosca, the emotions of Madama Butterfly, La Bohème and La Traviata, the prank of Il barbiere di Siviglia and much more… A memorable trip into the Italian Opera, made even more enjoyable by the evocative and intimate atmosphere in which it takes place: the deconsecrated Church of Santo Stefano. From March to November: every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 9.15 pm
