Torrita di Siena
Town af a thousand bells

Tuscany is the area of a thousand bells. A fact of which Torrita di Siena is a beautiful example. The medieval town of only seven thousand inhabitants has twenty churches, and every morning at exactly
half past seven their bells make the villagers collectively wake up.
