Siena of the Nine, 1340
Siena in 1340 is the commune of the Nine at the height of its power, rich from wool, salt and moneylending and erecting great civic works. The walk moves from the city's approaches through its gates and banking streets to the shell of the Campo, the rising Torre del Mangia, the striped cathedral and the scaffolds and trenches of the vast Duomo Nuovo.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Siena as it stood in 1340 (“Republic of Siena”).
