Explore the medieval city of Siena with me 🇮🇹 

The fan shaped square is central to this amazing city still heavily connected to its medieval roots. They have a long standing rivalry with Florence, after their hostile rulling over the city in 1555. The city is split into 17 districts which each contributed to a crucial part of the cities survival from bread making to leather work.

During our trip to Italy, I really wanted to atten During our trip to Italy, I really wanted to attend a game and we were lucky to have a home game in Florence whilst we were there but sadly I struggled to get tickets. 

I then wanted to visit the stadiums including San Siro but we just couldn't fit it all in. Instead I settled for visiting the stadium stores and picking up some memorabilia to remember our trip by instead. I could also see Bergamo's stadium from the viewpoint in Citti Alta. 

Hopefully a visit to a game will come soon ⚽️ 👕 🧣

Haha! As I was leaving the Atalanta store, a guy says to me as he saw my bag and shouts "FORZA ATALANTA" ... so I said back to him 'Gianluca Scamacca' and he laughed 👌🏻 

Bergamo was an unexpectedly dreamy place to visit and a lovely venue for my God brothers wedding ❤️😍 It's not high on people's Italian bucket list, but I definitely think it should be!!
