Solitaria sul suo colle (che spazia su un'immensa vista dagli Appennini al Tirreno) austera e serena a un tempo, la città ha un fascino particolare che la distingue da ogni altra.

Giunti alle sue soglie si rimane colpiti dalla poderosa cerchia delle sue mura, in parte di origine medievale, in parte etrusca, nelle quali si aprono varie porte, la più famosa delle quali è la Porta dell'Arco Etrusco.

All'interno delle mura ritroviamo i ricordi della fierissima Volterra comunale del medioevo, che ci aiutano a comprendere il magico incanto della sua bellezza.

The 15 medieval towers (a reminder of the 72 towers that used to rise during the period of greatest splendor) announce from far away the town's magnificence.

The amazement continues after entering one of the town gates, that open in the double enclosed wall, and walking up the silent streets flanked with ancient buildings.

The streets unexpectedly lead into three squares on the summit of the town, where the severe medieval buildings that surround them may be admired.

Pisa is set in a wide floodplain (4 m. above sea level) few kilometres far from the Tyrrhenian coast and it stretches in the two bank of the river Arno.

In narrow and winding lanes, in museums and in the quarter oratorios you may hear Palio propitiatory chants that recall the ancient customs and modern allegories. In the evening, on the other side, the patter of soles on the desert paving contrasts to the peace of the green valleys surrounded by the walls by its ancient administrators, for centuries till today.

In the town you may admire many masterpieces such as the Duomo, set in the Campo, Siena's red-bricked main square and the wonderful landscape of Facciatone, the hall of Pellegrinaio in Santa Maria della Scala, the Piccolomini library, the prestigious Accademy Chigiana and the wide rooms in Fortezza Medicea, that hides the rarest wines in Siena, in Tuscany and in the peninsula.
