  > How was a city allowed to develop with almost no green space? Siena, like other Tuscan hill towns, was first settled in the time of the Etruscans (c. 900–400 BC) Siena was built on a hill surrounded by some of the greenest valleys in Tuscany, the most notable one being the Chianti valley, home of the popular wine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chianti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chianti Trivia: the movie "The Gladiator" was shot in Pienza, in Val D'orcia, in Siena province.
