This bust full of moss portraying the composer Gaetano Donizetti, is part of a series of sculptures surrounding Villa Chigi Saracini in Castelnuovo Berardenga in the heart of the Chianti Classico region.

Built for a Sienese family, the villa and its beautiful park have recently been acquired by the Municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, with plans to open the estate to the public for the first time.

Largely designed by Agostino Fantastici, the villa’s Italian and English gardens hosted spectacular concerts and opera performances organised by the last direct heir to the dinasty, Count Guido Chigi Saracini. Guido also left his city palace to the community to establish the renowned Chigiana Musical Academy.

Chiusura dell’Anno Contradaiolo — the moment summer officially comes to an end, leaving behind memories, emotions, and a bittersweet nostalgia for days that already feel like a lifetime ago. One more communal meal out of doors before it gets too cold…

The Eagle (Aquila) Contrada flag waves in the wind atop the façade of Siena’s unfinished New Duomo. After 34 years, the Eagle finally returned to victory in July 2026, and is still celebrating this long-awaited victory in one of the most beautiful parts of the city. Come and see it for yourself

At sunset, the Duomo of Siena feels like a sacred sundial. From the first morning light entering through the rose window behind the altar to the final rays illuminating the facade, the movement of the sun marks the opening and closing of the church.

A daily cycle of light and darkness—and a quiet reminder of hope, death, and rebirth.

It is often said that the last one to throw their flag to the sky during the Sbandierata della Vittoria is the one who will win the Palio. And that is exactly what happened today.

My wonderful Contrada’s delegation leaves our traditional territory, heading to the Cathedral before entering the Piazza del Campo for the historic parade that precedes the Palio.

A farewell, a wish, and goosebumps all over my body.

It’s Palio time at last!

On the occasion of the Prova Generale, the Carabinieri on horseback rehearse the “attack” — the opening act of the historical parade that precedes the Palio. It’s a breathtaking moment as they charge at full speed, blades pointed forward, against an imaginary enemy. #Palio #CarabinieriACavallo #PiazzaDelCampo #Siena #ProvaGenerale @lorenzofusiguide taken in Siena, Italy by @lorenzofusiguide
