| The Pecci Garden is located near Piazza del Campo in a splendid
and intact medieval location. Siena relives its ghibbelin history with the spirit and atmosphere typical of those
times. The frescoes entitled "Good Government" by Ambrogio Lorenzetti offer a rare insight into the life
and costumes of the times. Eagles, hawks and owls fly above towers and walls guided by the ancient calls of the
falconers that echo in the splendid valley with the musical accompaniment. The rapacious birds respond with amazing
dives in the air and then gently rest on the hand of the falconer. |
