In 2011 I went to Italy for three months as a solo traveler. That adventure is detailed in my first book, Memoirs of a Solo Traveler – My Love Affair with Italy. During that trip I stayed in Siena for ten days, using it as a base to travel through Tuscany. One evening in Siena was particularly lively. I thought you might enjoy an audio excerpt about that night.
Stay tuned for more audio excerpts from my books…thanks to the help of my son Brian and his professional sound mixing expertise.
Have you ever attended a soccer game in Italy?
Have you traveled to Siena? I’d love to hear your impressions, so please leave a comment.
Grazie and ciao

Thanks so much Susan! I stayed in a hotel right around the corner from San Domenico. Glad you enjoyed it and that it brought back so many memories for you! Thank you!

Hello again. Yes, I have gone to a soccer game in Italy. In 2008 I took my travel group to a game in Florence. The Fiorentina team was playing against Turin, as I recall. We bought scarves in the Fiorentina colors (purple and white), which made us feel a part of the local community. We cheered and sang along with the crowd, although none of us were Italian speakers…we just followed what the crowd was doing. I am sure they were amused by our singing, since we didn’t know the words.
Siena is one of my favorite Tuscan hill towns.

Siena is beautiful! Was there in October, have near the same picture from the high road of the church – stunning little city! Amazing food!
