Siena The magic around us

“V’è la terra senese, che è proprio di quel colore che i pittori chiaman «terra di Siena», e la ritrovi nei capelli delle donne, nelle nuvole, nelle chiome degli alberi, nello stesso cielo, in quel cielo terroso dove ondeggiano le crete d’Asciano: per quella virtù che hanno i senesi di mescolare le cose celesti alle cose terrene e di rifare il cielo con la stessa materia di cui è fatta la terra.”
