Representation of the Commune of Siena (left), with the Virtues of Good Government Magnanimity, Temperance and Justice (right), detail from the fresco of the Allegory of Good Government (Allegoria del Buon Governo), from the series The Allegory and Effects of Good and Bad Government (L'Allegoria e Effetti del Buono e del Cattivo Governo), painted 1338-39 by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, c. 1290-1348, in the Sala dei Nove or Salon of Nine or Council Room, in the Palazzo Pubblico or Town Hall, Siena, Tuscany, Italy. The Commune of Siena holding an orb and sceptre and dressed in the black and white colours of the city. Charity and Hope are depicted above the head of the Commune, and the 2 suckling children at his feet are thought to be the sons of Remus, Ascius and Senius, the founders of Siena. On the bottom right are Florentine citizens captured by soldiers holding lances. Lorenzetti was commissioned by the Council of Nine to produce allegorical frescoes covering 3 of the 4 walls of their council chamber, and he produced 6 scenes on the 3 fresco panels.
