Piazza del Campo view from the alley San Pietro, Siena

Overlooking the alley of St. Peter, the view of Piazza del Campo opens up as a fan of wonder. Its shell shape, unique in the world, is only one of the reasons why UNESCO has awarded Siena as a perfect example of medieval city. The square stood at the crossroads of the three ancient hill towns, representing neutral ground for celebrations and gatherings. The architectural harmony that reigns supreme is not accidental: in 1297, the Municipality issued precise guidelines for the construction of the buildings, unifying the style and creating an ensemble of unparalleled beauty. Any structure that did not conform to the directives was demolished, as happened to the ancient church of St. Peter and Paul. Piazza del Campo is therefore the result of a far-sighted vision, where the common interest prevailed over the individual one, giving life to a timeless masterpiece. The union between architecture and urban space embodies the ideal of a cohesive and perfectly organized society, an example that still inspires and fascinates today.
