The Places: The Tuscan city of Siena has a long history and is the site of one
of the earliest great Gothic churches of the region, instantly recognisable from
the polychrome marble and sculptures of its façade. From Siena our tour goes to
Pisa, where, inevitably, the famous leaning tower and its adjacent buildings are
the centre of our attention. The tour ends with a visit to Nervi, a resort that is now
part of the city of Genoa, and the Villa Luxoro, with its collections of objets d’art.
The Music: Music for the tour is by Beethoven, with his Piano Concerto No. 1,
completed in 1795, and his first numbered Piano Sonata, one of a set of three,
published in 1796 and dedicated to his teacher, Joseph Haydn.
