The Chianti Sculpture Park is a collection of site-specific sculptures and installations created by artists from over 25 countries in a mystical wooded area of 7 hectares.The Park is located in Tuscany about 7 miles north of Siena, a territory famous worldwide for its beautiful hilly landscape, its vineyards, and the evergreen olive groves and cypress trees.Each artist has been invited to visit the wood in order to choose a location and subsequently submit a site-specific proposal. This accounts for the harmony of the sculptures with the trees, the sounds, the colors, the light, and other elements of the wood. In fact, these man-made works do not extend beyond the limits of nature; rather, they integrate with it and enhance it.Another characteristic of the Park is the diversity of cultures, represented by artists from all over the world who employ a great variety of materials.

Book your tickets in advance for skip-the-line access to Siena Cathedral, a stunning 13th-century Roman-Gothic building. Book online to avoid the queues and gain valuable time which you can dedicate to discovering this amazing cathedral. This ticket gives you access to the cathedral when its magnificent floor is revealed to the public, which only happens at certain times of the year, as well as giving you the opportunity to visit the Piccolomini Library.Although Siena Cathedral is filled to the brim with exceptional findings and refined works of art, one of its most interesting and valuable treasures is the flooring. Giorgio Vasari, the famous Italian artist and architect, declared that it is “the most beautiful… great and magnificent… floor that has ever been made”. Designed and built between the 14th and 18th centuries, it’s composed of 56 panels made by famous local artists. The painters’ designs were brought back into the marble flooring thanks to marble inlays and graffiti techniques that required a very high degree of precision and considerable economic investment. For this reason, in order to protect this wonderful work of art from wear and tear, the floor is only uncovered during a specific time of the year.Located within the cathedral complex, the Piccolomini Library was commissioned by the patron Cardinal Francesco Tedeschini Piccolomini and frescoed by the Umbrian artist known as Pinturicchio, or Bernardino di Betto. The painter and his collaborators worked hard between 1503 and 1508 to complete the precious frescoes that adorn the walls of the library. One of the walls is entirely occupied by large windows while the remaining three are decorated with frescoes depicting the life of Enea Silvio Piccolomini.
