Stunning Medieval Mosaic Floors of the Duomo Di Siena Are Revealed Only Twice a Year
Known in English as Siena Cathedral, the incredible Gothic masterpiece is richly decorated down to the dirt. Its incredible mosaic floor—largely created between 1370 and 1550 but not strictly finished until the 19th century—is only revealed twice a year, but the 56 marble inlay panels are a site to behold.

Il pavimento del Duomo di Siena è un’opera d’arte unica al mondo, un tappeto marmoreo a cui hanno lavorato dal Trecento all’Ottocento grandi artisti senesi e non solo.
Il Vasari lo definì il pavimento più “grande e magnifico” che fosse mai esistito e non è difficile capire il perché : ognuno dei 56 riquadri, chiamati “tarsie”, è stato disegnato dai maestri del Rinascimento, copiato dai marmisti e lavorato dagli scalpellini negli splendidi marmi locali.
Il Pinturicchio è l'autore di uno dei riquadri più belli, il Monte della Sapienza, che raffigura simbolicamente la strada verso la virtù con una splendida raffigurazione della Fortuna, angelica donna che governa il destino degli uomini e ha le sembianze simili alla Venere del Botticelli.
Il Pavimento, solitamente coperto per due terzi con dei panni speciali che lo proteggono dall’usura del tempo e dal calpestio dei visitatori, viene scoperto e diventa interamente visibile per alcuni mesi dell'anno, dalla metà di agosto, dopo il Palio dell’Assunta, fino a fine ottobre.
