Does This Look Just Like Siena, Italy, to You?
Categories: Hoboken Condos
I saw this website promo for The Siena, in Montclair, NJ and just had to chuckle. The promo says the building is “inspired by Tuscany” and has a photo of the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena. Having lived part-time in Italy for 17 years, I have a pretty good idea what Siena (and Tuscan buildings, in general) look like. Light yellow stucco exterior building walls, green window shutters, red barrel-tile roofs, terra-cotta courtyards. You can read more about it here.
Here is the Montclair version:
Here is a picture of the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena:
Do you see the similarity?
Just needs some “authentic” Italian cuisine in the commercial space, perhaps an Olive Garden lol…
