Monday in Sienna

A leisurely day with a tour of the Civic Museum and a video exhibit. In the Civic Museum the frescoes of good government/bad government were especially instructive. With Justice hailed in the good and Justice hogtied in the other. Guess which had prosperous farms and children dancing with tambourines and which had soldiers burning villages and murder in the streets. The theme of the video exhibit was the "errant wanderer" with many takes on the subject---some I thought were weird, some banal and one downright scary.

We ate lunch in a trattoria in the Pesce (fish) contrada. This time we ordered a small glass of grappa and an espresso to complete the meal.

Back in the square William fed the pigeons some bread and watched them drink from the mouths of the lupas around the edge of the fountain.
