Saliti sulla scala mobile del nuovo centro commerciale, in pochi minuti siamo arrivati a Porta Camollia, da dove abbiamo iniziato un percorso parlando della via Francigena, dei Templari di stanza a S.Pietro alla Magione, del rito del battesimo contradaiolo e di sanguinarie vicende risorgimentali. Abbiamo ammirato la chiesetta di Santa Maria delle Nevi, raffinato esempio del Rinascimento senese, Via Banchi di Sopra con le Piazze Salimbeni e Tolomei, il facciatone del Duomo e la varietà dei suoi materiali di costruzione e, infine, Piazza del Campo, ancor più rumorosa del solito per via dell'allestimento del percorso dove sarebbe passata, di lì a poco, la famosa corsa ciclistica dell'&lt;i&gt;Eroica&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Fin qui tutto nella norma. Gruppo simpatico, ragazzi giovani, per lo più miei coetanei. Ma tutti, o quasi, non vedenti. E' stato un piacere spiegare loro la bellezza di Siena attraverso il senso del tatto, dell'odorato, dell'udito: toccando le sculture a rilievo, soffermandoci davanti ad un forno per sentire gli odori speziati e caldi dei dolci senesi, ascoltando i discorsi dei senesi "a chiacchera" nelle piazze e, infine, usufruendo di qualche facilitazione voluta dal Comune di Siena, come le immagini a rilievo dei drappelloni dipinti nel 2011 da Tullio Pericoli e Francesco Carone collocate all'ingresso del Palazzo Pubblico.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Posso dire con certezza che sentir dire ad uno di loro, nel bel mezzo della visita, "certo, che Siena è proprio bella!", è stata la massima soddisfazione mai avuta in quattro anni di lavoro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;Ce l'avevo fatta a comunicare quella bellezza, non solo visibile, ma anche palpabile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il giorno successivo lo ho passato camminando per strada e osservando tutto ciò che era scolpito, toccabile con mano, ruvido, liscio, finemente levigato, a leggero o alto rilievo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #444444; color: orange;"&gt;Grazie a loro per aver completamente cambiato il mio modo di vedere Siena.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6848496905882492743-5155731914493349117?l=sienaandsienne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sienaandsienne.blogspot.com/feeds/5155731914493349117/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sienaandsienne.blogspot.com/2012/03/una-prova-importante.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848496905882492743/posts/default/5155731914493349117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848496905882492743/posts/default/5155731914493349117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sienaandsienne.blogspot.com/2012/03/una-prova-importante.html' title='Una prova importante'/><author><name>sienaandsienne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08409248167304821285</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--2CmNcj_nos/Td69q8cRf6I/AAAAAAAAAD8/FnNQlBHE99c/s220/me%2Bin%2BDuomo.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848496905882492743.post-4547422179764197010</id><published>2012-03-04T12:19:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-04T12:20:48.587-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Contemporary Art in Tuscany</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Tuscany is famous all over the world for its art treasures, its history and tradition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UMwbAAekXxo/T1PNC9XlIGI/AAAAAAAAAH4/4NNi4slBmeI/s1600/Isculpture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UMwbAAekXxo/T1PNC9XlIGI/AAAAAAAAAH4/4NNi4slBmeI/s200/Isculpture.jpg" width="133" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;In some places tradition and contemporary culture are melt in a special way.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zzFyssWeA4w/T1PNTQMbjrI/AAAAAAAAAIA/uqOZ3-N4qQc/s1600/Isculpture+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zzFyssWeA4w/T1PNTQMbjrI/AAAAAAAAAIA/uqOZ3-N4qQc/s200/Isculpture+2.jpg" width="137" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Visiting the contemporary art gallery &lt;span style="color: orange;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Isculpture&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, located in San Gimignano, is the right way to experiment this gorgeous mix.

Pendant l'année il y a deux courses, la première le 2 Juillet, la deuxième - qui est aussi la plus ancienne, remontant à la fin du 13ième siècles - le 16 Août. Ce sont les quartiers de la ville - appelé &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;contrade&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - qui participent à la course: chacun a son église, son musée, son club et son territoire.

The Palio is a joyful and coloured traditional festival, which is considered by the Sienesi not only a horse race, but much more. It takes place twice a year, on July 2nd and August 16th. Both races are dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the one in August is the older, documented since the end of the 13th century. Siena is divided into 17 districts, called &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;contrade&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, which take part in the race. Being a &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;contradaiolo&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - that is to say belonging to one of Siena's districts - is like being part of a big family, of a big body, it's a feeling almost impossible to understand to people coming from outside the walls of the town.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Visiting Siena with me could be the right way to discover all histories, tradition, ritual of this festival which traces back its origins to the Middle Ages!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6848496905882492743-5715604058503807374?l=sienaandsienne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sienaandsienne.blogspot.com/feeds/5715604058503807374/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sienaandsienne.blogspot.com/2011/04/this-is-siena.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848496905882492743/posts/default/5715604058503807374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6848496905882492743/posts/default/5715604058503807374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sienaandsienne.blogspot.com/2011/04/this-is-siena.html' title='Siena and the Palio race'/><author><name>sienaandsienne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08409248167304821285</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--2CmNcj_nos/Td69q8cRf6I/AAAAAAAAAD8/FnNQlBHE99c/s220/me%2Bin%2BDuomo.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VIx-2J4jbss/TawoptWqJzI/AAAAAAAAABE/AzfnicJBqwc/s72-c/Piazza+del+Campo+%25281%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
