Adjoining Siena Cathedral is the Piccolomini Library, housing precious illuminated choir books. The library was commissioned by Cardinal Francesco Piccolomini, Archbishop of Siena (later Pope Pius III), to honor the memory and book collection of his maternal uncle Enea (Aeneas) Piccolomini, who became Pope Pius II. The walls are lined with display cases carved by Antonio Barili in 1495-1496 and filled with an important collection of 30 richly illustrated Renaissance choir books from 1465 to 1515.
