It all started with a make-shift clothes line out the window and laundry in the bathroom sink; creating a laundry view that rivals Corniglia! For the rest of the day we Sunday-strolled over every inch of Siena. We travelled to parts of Siena unknown to most. We found the Luca Signorelli frescoes in Sant’ Agostino that were partially clad in wood that was supporting the ceiling. They and the church, are in rough shape, but we were happy to find them because we saw Luca’s work in the Orvieto Cathedral and wanted to see what he had done in Siena. The Agostino church is located beside the University of Siena which is perched high on one of the hills giving us a beautiful view of the town while the clouds teased us with perfection.
We also marvelled, for great lengths of time, at the Allegory of the Good Government of Siena frescoes by Lorenzetti (1337-1343) in the Hall of Peace in Palazzo Pubblico.
It is Sunday afternoon and is seemingly quiet in our contrada. The sun is shining and the view out our afternoon window is absolutely stunning. ~sigh~
