      People need to live somewhere, and if they live somewhere like Siena it leaves more space for nature.

        Yeah, and the nicer urbanists can make cities the more empty land there will be. And I can live in a pile of rocks with animals for my friends while you all enjoy the nice cities.

        It’s a medieval walled city of historical significance; the centre is a world heritage site. It’s the location of the oldest bank in the world, one of the oldest universities and the central piazza is the venue for the Palio (a bareback horse race contested by the different quarters of the city.)

        I went there by chance during a Palio. The whole city was alive in a way that I can’t even begin to describe. Would definitely go back.
