After lunch, which included some wild boar from San Gimmi, we nipped off to nearby Sienna to see their legendary Duomo; it’s a wedding cake in marble, unbelievably ornate outside and more-so inside with even the floors decorated with marble pictures. Quite possibly the finest church we’ve seen so far, including Florence’s Duomo. Eight candles were lit for Reggie and her siblings in memory of their mother.
After a refreshing lunch and beverage (which a passing Swiss tourist on an electric-assist bicycle assured us was not really German beer) we tracked down the car (Sienna outlawed vehicles downtown in 1966) and hit the road again.
