The volume is a watershed accomplishment, marking - finally - a renaissance of scholarly interest and debate on this fascinating city. One could not have asked for a more coherent, engaged, and informed group of essays to rekindle interest in Siena among both the academic community and the public at large.\" \u003ci\u003eJohn T.
