Join us for a special virtual tour with slides dedicated to the Piccolomini Library in Siena, a small room hidden inside the magnificent Duomo, but filled with extraordinary beauty.

This dazzling Renaissance treasure is a true explosion of color, elegance and storytelling. Through detailed slides, we’ll slow down and look closely at the magnificent frescoes by Pinturicchio, the spectacular starry ceiling, the jewel-toned pigments and the incredible artistic details that many visitors miss during a quick visit.

We’ll also discover the story of the Piccolomini family, the life of Pope Pius II, and the giant illuminated choir books that make this space so unique and unforgettable.

Think of it as a little treasure hunt through Renaissance art: every wall, every figure, every color has something to reveal.

A perfect virtual journey for anyone who loves Siena, Italian art, hidden beauty and the magic of looking closer.

Get ready to step inside one of the most breathtaking jewels of the Siena Cathedral.
