Buon Giorno! Friday was AMAZING day! We had our first program scheduled trip which consisted of spending the day in Siena and wine tasting at a Tuscan vineyard. Siena, a smaller town in the Tuscany region of Italy, is about an hour and a half away from Sesto by bus. We left the Villa at 8am and made it to Siena by 9:30. First, we saw two different Cathedrals and the museum. Again, this trip was guided by my art history professor, Professor Mariotti, so we of course learned a lot about Siena. The highlight of the trip for me was seeing the view of the city from the top of the museum. It was beautiful, and there was a great view of the tuscan hills surrounding the city.
On the way back we stopped at a vineyard for wine and olive oil tasting. We toured the vineyard, and saw all the machines and equipment used. Then we sat down to taste three different types of wine and two types of olive oil. I thought a lot about my parents on this trip. Mom, Dad, you would have loved seeing this vineyard! Maybe we can take a trip back together?
