Events in Siena from November 2023

1 SIENA DAY 2-23

Discover all there is to do in November in Siena

Looking forward to December with the Christmas and New Year’s program in Siena, we look to November. A month marked in Siena by culture with dedicated exhibitions and guided tours to discover the city’s masterpieces. One among them is Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s Good and Bad Government “kept” at the Civic Museum of Palazzo Pubblico.
But alongside cultural events, Siena and its territories also offer the chance to learn about the true flavors of Tuscan cuisine such as olive oil and truffles. It is precisely in this month that the olive harvest kicks off…

 

Here are the November events in Siena:
