The Spire

Name: The Spire
SKU: thespire
Availability: InStock

Rising to the sky is the tower of Palazzo Pubblico located in Piazza del Campo. Its thin and pointy structure stands out in every landscape view of Siena, which is why Photographer and Digital Artist, Scott Allen Wilson captures it in the middle of the image with a clear sky in the background. This photograph was taken in Siena, Italy, and has been realized on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl paper. The mounted print is displayed underneath a matte float glass with a natural white passe-partout and is surrounded by a beautiful ebony solid wood frame. Every element of this piece was individually selected with the intention of being a part of a unified piece of art.

I think this print perfectly encapsulates the essence and the energy of Siena, Italy. I hope you love it 🙂

Thoughts and Ponderings about The Spire

The Torre del Mangia is a medieval tower located in the center of Siena, Italy. It is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks and is considered to be one of the tallest and most important medieval towers in Italy.

The tower was built in the 14th century and stands at approximately 102 meters tall. It is located next to the Palazzo Pubblico and is attached to the building by a loggia, a covered arcade. The tower was named after its first bell-ringer, Giovanni di Duccio, who was nicknamed “Mangiaguadagni” or “Mangia” for his voracious appetite.

The Torre del Mangia is open to the public and visitors can climb the 414 steps to the top for a panoramic view of the city of Siena and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. On a clear day, visitors can see as far as the Apennine Mountains to the east and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. The climb is not for the faint of heart, but the reward is a breathtaking view and a unique perspective of Siena’s medieval architecture.
