Eating and
Drinking in Siena
(Back to
Siena main information page)
You'll spot posters for city events at Piazza Matteotti, and the
Siena supplement of La Nazione newspaper has details of the
day's concerts and films. You can catch live bands at L'Officina
bar, Piazza del Sale 3a, and at the disco-bar Al Cambio , Via di
Pantaneto 48, but otherwise your only chances are at the low-key
Siena Jazz in the last week of July and the gigs organized for
the PDS-Communist Party Festa dell'Unit?throughout the summer.
Siena has prestigious classical concerts throughout the year.
The Accademia Chigiana is the driving force, staging the Estate
Musicale Chigiana cycle all summer, and the Settimana Musicale
Senese in late July, often featuring a major opera production.
Venues vary from the duomo and Sant'Agostino to out-of-town
locations such as the atmospheric ruined abbey of San Galgano.
Tickets start at 7.75, bookable through the tourist office or
from mid-July onwards in person at the Accademia Chigiana, Via
di Citt?89 (daily 3-7pm; tel 0577.46.152, www.chigiana.it ).
