Posted: 4/1/2006 6:31:50 PM | I thought it was great, too.
I was taught that Siena is the only place in Italy where the everyday, spoken Italian is the same as the official, academic Italian; even in Florence, their "C's" are pronounced a little incorrectly in everyday speech. Unfortunately, I was only there for the afternoon, and didn't have the oportunity to speak with any of the locals. (and I wouldn't have known the difference at the time, anyway)
I would have loved to see their duomo completed, but at least it makes for an interesting piazza. | |

Posted: 4/12/2006 9:01:46 PM | | yes, I lived in Florence for four months, and one day I took a bus to Siena. It is so pretty and peaceful. I wish I could have spent more time there, but money was tight at the time (I was a scholarship student). I am madly in love with Italy. It is my dream to live there full-time one day. | |

When I was there in winter, there was snow, which added to the town's beauty. There were still a lot of tourists, but mostly European, as it as school break. | |

It's a nice place to visit. Probably be a nice place to live. Not a huge town (60,000) but in a good location for seeing Italy. Gets an awful lot of tourists, though, especially in summer. | |
