I'm in Siena, and I found this coat of arms on a wall in the old hospital, and I was wondering where it was from? (link in description)

Seems to be the coat of arms of the House of Hapsburg-Lorraine - the dynasty which held the Grand Duchy of Tuscany from 1737 onwards after having succeeded to the last of the Medici, Gian Gastone (what a character!).

As a related piece of trivia... their rule ceased in 1859, with the Italian unification.
