Things to do in Siena, Tuscany: The Best Art Galleries
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.

The workshop production is based on artistic ceramics in typical siennese style, and many others conceived by Staccioli's family itself featured by decoration in a range of different shades of blue, green and salmon obtained by particular maxing of colours. Sonia's majolica's achieved their last touch by over glaze firing. Temperature ranges from 930° to 1050° Celsius. All the "Bianco e Nero" articles are totally hand made and completely lead free.
