The town of Siena is apparently where the name of the colour actually comes from. It is such a beautiful little city.

We were walking around the streets of Siena on a mission to find a very strange thing - St Catherine's head! Siena is where St Catherine was from and for some very bizarre reason they chopped off her head after she died. It's kept on the alter in a glass box. And then in a cebinet next to the alter they've got one of her fingers all shrivelled up and on a little stand!
