‘Divine Beauty’ – The Floor of the Cathedral of Siena, a masterpiece to discover.

In the year of the Milan Expo this amazing gem can be seen by the public for the whole month of July – ordinarily viewing is limited to the period after the famous Palio and on until the end of October.

This inlaid marble floor is a magic carpeted that is covered for most of the year – to protect it – comprising 56 panels from many a noted artist such as Sassetta, Domenico di Bartolo, Matteo di Giovanni, Domenico Beccafumi and Pinturicchio (the Hill of Wisdom).

For the month of July 2015 and then between 18th August and 27th October 2015, tickets also includes access to this famous marble-graffito Pavimento del Duomo, described by Vasari as ‘the most beautiful… largest and most magnificent… that was ever made’.
