Cinta Senese is a valuable breed of swine, whose name comes from the typical white band  crossing  the  black  shiny  mantle  of each animal. The strong and quick limbs, a sharp sense of smell, the capability to be grazing, are the characteristics  that  allow this  species to  grow  wild. Its presence is documented  by  a  great  deal of  texts  as well as paintings and frescoes of Sienese School. We can admire, among many examples, a specimen of "Cinta Senese" depicted by Lorenzetti in his "Effetti  del Buongoverno" inside the Town Palace of Siena.
