  • Nevola Siena Companion Volume Essay 201216
    Pre-print text, not for circulation. Fabrizio Nevola (University of Exeter) ‘“per queste cose ognuno sta in santa pace et in concordia”: Understanding urban space in Renaissance Siena’, in Santa Casciani ed., A Companion to Late Medieval and Early Modern Siena (Leiden and Boston: Brill 2018). Abstract: This chapter offers a longue durée history of Siena’s urban development from the fourteenth century through to the early years of Medici domination (c. 1300-1600). As is well known, Siena offers a precocious example of urban design legislation around the piazza del Campo, which included paving, zoning rules, and rulings on the aesthetics of buildings facing onto the piazza. Such planning rules spread to encompass much of the city fabric through the fifteenth century, so that when the Medici took over the city, there is evidence of their surprise at the way urban improvement was enshrined as a core civic duty. While a focus of the chapter will look at urban planning legislation and its effects on the evolving built fabric over nearly three centuries, it will also consider how public urban space was used. Here too, there are continuities in the ritual practices that activated and inscribed meaning on the squares and streets as well as religious and secular buildings and monuments. It will be shown then that, as Bernardino da Siena’s commentary on Lorenzetti’s famous frescoes show, the built city is integral to the social interactions of its citizens. Illustrations: 1. Ambrogio Lorenzetti (1338-40), Sala della Pace, Palazzo Pubblico, Siena 2. Piazza del Campo with Palazzo Sansedoni and Fonte Gaia, showing market stalls in place in a photo by Paolo Lombardi, c.

  • SIENA Distance from the Borgo: 30Km
    SIENA distance from the borgo: 30km The medieval city of Siena is a must-see destination with a memorable history, a world-class repository of medieval art and architecture, and the site of the famous Palio horse race held twice a year in the city’s expansive public square, the Piazza del Campo. Strategically located on the Via Francigena – the pilgrimage route from Northern Europe to Rome – Siena rose to greatness in the Middle Ages. The city flourished as one of Europe’s largest cities from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries, larger than Paris or London and rivaling Florence. Artistic projects proliferated, filling Siena with Gothic masterpieces. The Palazzo Publico with its Mangia Tower offers an outstanding view of the city and its surrounding countryside. The palace houses a museum of Sienese painting, including Martini’s Maesta, the Middle Ages’ largest painting, and perhaps its most famous, Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s Allegory of Good and Bad Government. In the surrounding city, a wealth of palaces and churches demonstrate civic and non-secular architecture. Siena’s Santa Maria Assunta, a twelfth century cathedral, rivals Florence as a dictionary of Italian greats. Its collection includes sculptures by Michelangelo, Pinturicchio’s frescoed Piccolomini library, and frescoes by Lorenzo Ghiberti, Donatello, and Jacopo della Quercia. Historical Overview: The Sienese claim to have descended from the twin sons of Remus, whom Romulus expelled from Rome, and statues of the fabled she-wolf that suck- led the twins as infants abound in the city. In 1348, the plague descended, killing three quarters of the Sienese population.

  • Landscape Influence on the Development of the Medieval City-State of Siena, Italy
    Il Quaternario Italian Journal of Quaternary Sciences 23(2Bis), 2010 - Volume Speciale - 283-298 LANDSCAPE INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEDIEVAL CITY-STATE OF SIENA, ITALY Armando Costantini1 & I. Peter Martini2 1Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Siena, Italy 2School of Environmental Sciences, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1 Canada Corresponding author: I.P. Martini <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: Costantini A. & Martini I.P., Landscape influence on the development of the medieval city-state of Siena, Italy. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2010) This paper examines how the landscape has influenced the development of the medieval–early Renaissance city-state of Siena, Italy. Siena is a hill-top town with a historic ~2 km2 wide core surrounded by ancient city walls. It still preserves the medieval urban plan and Gothic architecture, and its inhabitants keep ancient traditions alive. It is built on Pliocene, loosely cemented, calcareous, marine, porous sandstone that overlies impermeable marine calcareous silty clay. The town is limited on three sides by steep slopes indented by secondary deep, narrow, small valleys. The forth side to the north is a gently sloping terrain along the hilltop leading to distant high- lands. This geomorphologic setting had been beneficial to the development of the town during mediaeval times because readily defendable and, being far from wet, unhealthy, malaria-infested lowlands, it was crossed by a major medieval pilgrimage route (Via Francigena) to Rome. However the hilltop location presented difficulties such as scarce availability of water and limited space to expand. Siena tried valiantly to adapt to the demand of expanding population and international markets.

  • Best Landmarks in Siena"
    "Best Landmarks in Siena" Gecreëerd door : Cityseeker 9 Locaties in uw favorieten Fonte Branda "Ancient Fountain with Guelph Battlements" Fountains were particularly valued in fortified cities in the Middle Ages as were all things that aided survival during that period of war and bloodshed. The Branda fountain is certainly the oldest (late 12th Century); it is so old that even the days of the writer Bocaccio (1313-1375) it was considered to be ancient! The building is still there with its Guelph by MarkusMark battlement. via di Fontebranda, Siena Piazza del Campo "The Piazza of the Palio" The Piazza del Campo is a wonder of medieval construction in the heart of Siena. With the piazza's unique fishtail design constructed in rust-colored brick and white stone, the square is a result of excellent city planning. The square was built at the point where the original three towns that made up the city of Siena met and every building built around the square had to by Giaccai meet city guidelines so there was a sense of harmony. The brick laid square is divided into nine sections that represent each of the city's 'governo dei nove' or ruling governors. From a height, the sections look like the folds of a cloak believed to represent Mother Mary's cloak, Siena's patron saint. Today, the square hosts the popular bi-annual Palio or horse race that draws in visitors by the thousands waiting to see the majestic spectacle of thundering hooves. www.terredisiena.it/arte-e-cultura/piazza-del-campo/ Piazza Il Campo, Siena Fonte Gaia "Landmark Fountain" Op het mooiste plein van Siena staat deze imposante fontein.

  • THREE DAYS in SIENA in Three Days It Is Possible to See a Lot of Siena
    THREE DAYS IN SIENA In three days it is possible to see a lot of Siena. However, to appreciate all it has to offer, to discover hidden corners and unusual perspectives, its different atmospheres and colours which change with the seasons, a lot more time is necessary. We suggest an itinerary where the first day is dedicated to the “essential” sights and suggestions are given on the second and third days to allow you to visit a large part of the city. Of course you may decide to spend more time in a particular area or in a museum, to follow the itinerary in a different order, to enter in the beautiful churches that you pass along the route... You may prefer to lose yourselves in the narrow streets and alleyways, to stop at a viewpoint or in one of the Orti to take in the calls and flights of the swallows over the rooftops during the long summer evenings, to admire how the buildings which frame Piazza del Campo change colour during the day – from pale pink to deep red at sunset... If you miss something, come back... maybe together with friends who don’t know Siena but have been enthralled by your descriptions. Come back soon... 1ST DAY The departure point is Piazza del Campo, the heart of the city. It is here that every 2nd July and 16th August that the Palio takes place: a horse race preceded by a splendid historic procession. Stop in front of the Fonte Gaia which bought water to the centre of the city in 1346, after almost ten years of digging in order to create a “bottino”, a long underground barrel vaulted aqueduct.
