 * Piazza del campo is located in Siena, Tuscany, Italy. **** It is the heart of Siena and one of Europe’s historic square. **
 * Piazza del campo is a shell-shaped square and it’s surrounded by the Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia. It was paved in 1349 in fishbone-patterned red brick and travertine. The travertine was used to divide the piazza in nine sections. **
 * Brick plays a very important role in piazza del campo and in Siena itself, because the structures in the entire city are covered with bricks, so it gives it an own color. Siena gives its name to the tone of the brick that compose the streets and buildings. It’s a yellow-brown color that turns Piazza del Campo and the city of Siena a unique place. **
