"... The gem of the inns sets in Siena, about 5 kilometers from the city. It is the "Osteria di Bozzone" which a poet also named "the 500 chamber pots’ tavern" because its hall was decorated with five hundred of those jars, which Socrates made famous because of his adventure.
The excellent Bozzone does not feel offended if we say it does not commerce only in flasks of wine, but also with the ... viceversa, so the number of its white and swollen chamber pots grows out, according to business. It happened the poet count even 512 of them. The Chianti from Bozzone is delicious expecially if sever with the local ham. This is an unforgettable experience…for all your life long…
To reach this paradise, the way is rather simple: take a car, exit door Camollia, and go to Fonte Becci e Vico Bello. This is a tour, of course, the coachman wants to be paid for, but which you are compensated on usury, because you end up transported to the paradise fields and closed to the Olympus, to the radiant apotheosis that culminates in the serene contemplation of the divine Bozzone and its five hundred symbolic amphorae."
