Hi, I’m Francesco, a proud local host and active member of the Torre Contrada in Siena! What excites me most about this city is the Palio - a 600-year-old horse race that’s much more than a race; it’s the heartbeat of Siena’s 17 family-like Contrade. Beyond the city walls, the province offers UNESCO treasures, stunning landscapes in Val d’Orcia, and the Chianti wine region. I love Siena’s medieval charm, its honest, hearty Tuscan food, and the warm spirit of conviviality. Whether you want practical tips, hidden scenic spots, or cultural gems like museums and theaters, I’m here to make your experience unforgettable!
