Preserving history through art form is absolutely crucial in Italian culture, and you can tell as you walk through the cobblestone/brick streets and encounter numerous century-old buildings and churches. In Siena, we were given the opportunity to see the cathedral and boy were we in for a treat. The detail of this cathedral was mind-blowing. So mind blowing in fact that I simply didn’t know where to look. It was one of the first churches I’d seen in Italy where I entered its vast doors and the inside was even more impressive than the outside. I swear every detail from the pillars, chairs, to the marble floor was decorated.
