Piazza Salimbeni, Siena, Medieval square in central Siena, Italy
Three neo-gothic palaces from the 13th century frame the square, with Palazzo Tantucci, Rocca Salimbeni, and Palazzo Spannocchi creating a cohesive architectural ensemble.
The Salimbeni family controlled this area until 1419, when their expulsion from Siena led to the confiscation of their properties and transfer to Monte dei Paschi bank.
The central monument depicts Sallustio Bandini, an Italian economist and priest, sculpted by Tito Sarrocchi in 1882 as a tribute to Sienese financial innovation.
Monte dei Paschi di Siena, one of Europe's oldest banks, maintains its headquarters at Piazza Salimbeni 3, offering banking services in these historical buildings.
The fortress houses an expanding art collection featuring works by Sassetta, Pietro Lorenzetti, and Beccafumi, alongside the Historical Archive of Monte dei Paschi bank.
