I heard about slow art the first time this spring, but am planning to join in and organize a slow art event next year in Siena or Montalcino. So I'll definitely be in touch with you before getting started with the organisation next winter. Regarding the link in my blog post  - it's on purpose to Slow Food (in fact the phrase before the link talks about slow food not slow art) as I think this is another movement well worth knowing. However you are right I should add a direct link to the slow art website too, so far there is only one to the slow art events website in the post. thanks for providing me with the link.   Regarding Duccio's Maestà - I agree, a masterpiece that definitely deserves a post from you! I am planning to write one about it too on www.mapitout-tuscany.com, but from the perspective of an art lover. It would be great to also get your much more professional perspective on it! Katja for anything tuscan ps. sorry this comment is never ending, but I just checked and the link should be www.slowartday.com (NOT .org).  Hi again, no I wasn’t at all aware that it is thanks to you, that Slow Art found its way to italy – well done!!

I have a feeling that not every tourist in tuscany sees Duccio's maesta in its entirety inside the museo dell'opera del duomo di siena, and it sure is confusing spread apart like that, it'd be easy to overlook if you didn't know its importance. I should write about that... thanks for the idea! You know that I run slow art in Florence, right? It wouldn't even BE in Italy if i hadn't done it two years in a row... see here: http://www.arttrav.com/florence/slow-art-florence-2011/ Your article mistakenly links to slowfood, not www.slowartday.org, you might want to fix that to help promote the event!

siena, and it sure is confusing spread apart like that, it’d be easy to
overlook if you didn’t know its importance. I should write about that…

It's such a shame that we all tend to visit museums without actually seeing anything. In Siena Duccio's masterpiece the Maestà is a great example of this problem; every tourist will have seen it, but nobody seems to remember any of it.

Me and my wife were getting overwhelmed by all of the exhibits. Admittedly we did not know what we were looking for. I found this while taking a quick break in the cafe and it definitely improved the rest of our visit. Very helpful! Me and my wife were getting overwhelmed by all of the exhibits.

What I would like is an insiders guide to the city. Apart from the museums, plazas and tourist attractions, what is that locals like about their city?
