EXHIBITIONS
Siena's Santa Maria delle Scale museum just extended the exhibition about Milo Manara, the famous Italian illustrator and cartoonists. The shows title Le Stanze del Desiderio (The Rooms of Desire) indicates that your teenage sons will probably prefer its exhibits to the ones of Duccio in the museum next door. Not that I agree.
