Siena is preparing to welcome the Jubilee 2025 with a calendar of events that will guide citizens, visitors, and pilgrims along a journey of faith, culture, and tradition. The common theme of the celebrations will be the Golden Rose, the precious gift that Pope Pius II gave to the city in 1459, symbolizing a deep bond between Siena and the Papacy. This presents a unique opportunity to rediscover the city and its Jubilee history through exhibitions, meetings, guided tours, and spiritual paths.
