The approach to Siena by bike is through streets that get progressively older and steeper until suddenly the Campo is there. We had both seen it in photographs and the photographs are accurate in every way except one: they do not tell you how the square smells — stone and frying onions and the particular warm stillness of a Sienese summer evening. We sat on the pavement with our backs against the Palazzo Pubblico for forty minutes and did not want to be anywhere else.
