717 IT - Historic Centre of Siena (1995)

Brief Description

"Siena is the embodiment of a medieval city. Its inhabitants pursued their rivalry with Florence right into the area of urban planning. Throughout the centuries, they preserved their city's Gothic appearance, acquired between the 12th and 15th centuries. During this period the work of Duccio, the Lorenzetti brothers and Simone Martini was to influence the course of Italian and, more broadly, European art. The whole city of Siena, built around the Piazza del Campo, was devised as a work of art that blends into the surrounding landscape."
锡耶纳历史中心

"锡耶纳是一座中世纪城市的化身。这里的居民为取得在这块土 地上进行城市规划的权利,长期与佛罗伦萨竞争。几个世纪以来,他们成功保留住了这座城市12世纪至15世纪以来形成的哥特风格的城市面貌。在这段时期,杜 奇奥、洛伦泽蒂兄弟、以及西莫内·马丁尼等人的建筑作品影响了意大利的艺术进程,在更广的范围上也影响了整个欧洲的艺术发展。整个锡耶纳城环绕卡姆博广场 而建,设计得如同艺术作品一般,与周边的自然景观融为一体,交相辉映。"
