[Virtual Tour] Siena Cathedral 🇮🇹 | Exploring the heart of Tuscany, St. Catherine’s Homeland

I’m Duyen Ann, a Vietnamese living in Italy, and today, I’m taking you on a virtual tour of Siena—one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Tuscany and the homeland of St. Catherine of Siena. 🌿✨

This video is extra special because St. Catherine of Siena is my mom’s favorite saint, and I hope to bring her here one day soon. But before that happens, I came to explore and record this breathtaking place to share it with her—and with you!
