| Ciao Italia !!! There is a saying in Siena that to turn a corner is to receive a gift. Ascending, twisting, descending through vines and olive and fruit trees on a rough spur of a road a Gothic or Romanesque structure might appear in its solitary grandeur. The leisurely speed of riding allows the absorption of the history of the surroundings while knowing at the end of the trail are gastronomical delights.
