Italian holiday part IV - SIENA

  Motto Sienenczykow brzmi : ''Siena otwiera serce na osciez przed Toba''. Poczulam te goscinnosc odwiedzajac to malownicze, osadzone na trzech wzgorzach, pelne wspanialej architektury i sztuki  miejsce. 

The motto of Siena is to open its heart to You. While visiting the beautiful place I felt this hospitality..

Znakiem rozpoznawczym Sieny jest wilczyca karmiaca Romulusa i Remusa

The emblem of the town is a she-wolf suckling infants Romulus and Remus

Sercem miasta jest zas sredniowieczny, wylozony czerwona cegla plac Piazza del Campo, ksztaltem  przypominajacy muszle. Kazdego roku miejsce to odwiedza miliony turystow, najwiecej zas w dniach,  gdy odbywa sie gonitwa konska Palio di Siena. 

The principal public space of the historic center of Siena is Piazza del campo renowned worldwide for its beauty

Nad placem dominuje ratusz Pallazo Pubblico z wysoka wieza Torre del Mangio

Pallazo Pubblico Town Hall

kapliczka Cappella di Piazza

Plac okalaja okazale czternastowieczne kamienice, obecnie mieszczace w parterze liczne restauracje i kawiarnie. 

The medieval square is surrounded by ancient  houses. Some of these are presently used as restaurants and cafe shops 

Ozdoba placu jest marmurowa fontanna Fonte Gaia- dzielo Jacoba di Pietro

Marmurowym skarbem Sieny jest natomiast Duomo- katedra Wniebowziecia N.M.P, ktora zachwyca nie tylko swym ogromem, ale takze unikatowymi zdobieniami fasady. Jest to prawdziwe cudo gotyckiej architektury. Trudno opisac jej piekno...

Co jeszcze urzeklo mnie w tym pieknym miescie? Przede wszystkim wiekowe, sredniowieczne kamienice z mozika czerwono-brazowych dachow, wspaniala architektura, labirynty kretych uliczek, niemal calkowity brak komercji, a takze pyszne lody, makaron z czosnkiem Pici all'aglione i pizza- zecydowanie najsmaczniejsza sposrod wszystkich jakie dane mi bylo skosztowac w Italii  :-)

While visiting Siena I was enchanted by its beautiful architecture, maze of narrow medieval streets and houses and lovely food :-)

Denim shirt with golden studs

           
Who doesn't have a favourite denim shirt in their wardrobe? As they are a favourite of mine I have just added a new one to my collection. When I first saw the shirt I am wearing today I was attracted to it because of i'ts color and it's sleeves with golden studs. I often wear a denim shirt like this when I want to feel relaxed and casual. I finished this easy to wear look with a small leopard bag I bought some years ago.

Golden number

My blog is very shiny today as I am wearing a top with a golden number and golden trousers. I enjoy wearing such a bold outfit because it rises my confidence. I contrasted this look with a black jacket and simple accessories.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Checkered dress

                                
Checkered clothes are hot this season. Lately I bought some checkered items which are now hanging in my wardrobe. Among them is this dress you can see I am wearing today. I love ii's pattern, color ad it's versatility. Love it!
