Siena was a half-day trip from Florence.
Apparently it was Florence's greatest rival.. until it lost.
The plague wiped out over 1/3 of Siena's population and the city never recovered.

Siena is split into 17 parts, each represented by a colorful storybook-looking flag.
When I visited there was a traditional parade, complete with young men in velvet outfits and tights.
I ate Siena's typical pastry, paneforte.
Siena felt slightly like a fairytale.
