"View from The Gate Of Heaven The floor of the Cathedral of Siena, 'the most beautiful... largest and magnificent... that ever was made' (Giorgio Vasari) worth a visit by sure, believe me! Every year I come back there when it is open, two months a year from the week after the Palio festival of August till the last Sunday of October. From this year it is also possible to see from above the 56 wonderful inlays in which the floor is divided thanks to a new path open in the ceiling of the Cathedral and called the Gate of Heaven: what a gift for the art lovers! By Amina Sabatini"
