Siena rocks!

You may know that Siena is not only my hometown, but the home of one of the most surprising teams in the Italian main football league, Serie A.

I have grown up in Siena at the sight of a local football team that was struggling between third and fourth division. A couple of years ago Siena made a wonderful rise to Serie B, and right after to Serie A. They managed to avoid relegation last year in an exciting comeback, and earned themselves another year in Serie A.

This year they are flying up high in the top half of the ranks, and just managed to conquer the Olympic Stadium in Rome by defeating the local team (AC Roma) yesterday with a sounding 3-2 score.

Their yearly budget is a tenth of the one that Roma has. They have two points more than Roma.

Congrats to this wonderful example of management.
