Night in Foiano della Chiana - We visited the castle at night with its alleys, the square, the staircase and the new tower. We left the main door and via a splendid staircase we entered the Collegiate Church (open until 10pm) where we saw Luca Signorelli's canvas, a work by Andrea della Robbia and other works by famous painters. In the Collegiate square we could see the second circle of walls with the related gate called the Ice Gate and a splendid bastion of the castle still intact. Although it was closed we went to see the church of San Francesco from the outside with its portico, the beautiful bell tower and the nocturnal atmosphere. We then went to have dinner at Zinfarosa, an excellent restaurant within the walls. Instead of stopping at the usual grill we left the highway and discovered this beautiful medieval town. After having dinner we got back on the highway happy to have made this quick detour.
