| Siena, |
Italian |
capital |
of |
the |
Middle |
Ages, |
lies |
| amongst |
ancient |
hills |
moulded |
out |
of |
age-old |
tufa |
| and |
cradled |
between |
the |
Val |
d’Elsa |
and |
the |
| Valdarbia. |
Legend |
has |
it |
that |
Senio |
and |
Aschio, |
the |
| sons |
of |
Remus, |
founded |
Siena |
although |
the |
town |
| really |
has |
Etruscan |
and |
Roman |
origins. |
The |
town’s |
| structure |
was |
laid |
down |
during |
the |
late |
medieval |
| period when |
the three |
hill |
districts of |
Città, |
Camollia |
| and |
San |
Martino |
came |
together. |
After |
the |
| Lombards, |
bishops |
and |
consoles |
had |
come |
and |
| gone, |
Siena |
became |
a |
place |
of |
merchants |
and |
| craftsmen and grew powerful on a colourful trade |
in |
textiles, spices, perfumes saffron, wines and waxes. |
