    Pienza

    By admin / 16th October, 2015 / / Off
    Originally “Castello di Corsignano”, Pienza took its present name in honor of Pope Pius II Piccolomini, who started in the second half of the ‘400 with the restructuring that was meant to be the utopian ideal city. The whole village is a small gem, but in particular is in the Cathedral, which houses works by Giovanni di Paolo, Matteo di Giovanni Vecchietta, Sano di Pietro; There is also a marble altar attributed to Rossellino, the architect whom Pope Pius II commissioned to redesign the city. Adjacent to the cathedral is the “Diocesan Museum”, where works from the school of Sodom and Sano di Pietro, Flemish tapestries of the ‘400 and’ 500. A short distance away is the beautiful Palazzo Piccolomini, built and designed by Bronzino and Beccafumi. Downstream of the country develops the charming landscape of the “Artistic Natural and Cultural Park of Val d’Orcia”, with ravines, rolling fields and the famous chalk cliffs.

    Sarteano

    By admin / 16th October, 2015 / / Off

    The keep square and its imposing castle (X century), speaks clearly of the medieval origins of Sarteano, a town that grew up along a ridge rising above the Valdichiana. Sarteano also boasts civil and religious buildings of great interest; in particular, we recommend a visit to the church of San Martino in Foro The Collegiate Church, dedicated to Saints Lorenzo and Apollinare, also works fine. Among the civil buildings the Town Hall, Palazzo Piccolomini, Palazzo Goti–Fanelli and Palazzo Cennini a small jewel is the Theatre of Arrischianti. Certainly worth a visit the Archaeological Museum, which houses important Etruscan and Roman. Every year in August hosts the “Giostra del Saracino“, a challenge on horseback of medieval origin. A few kilometers from the center, through forests and unspoiled foltissimi, they reach the fortified Abbey of Spineto and the mediaeval village of Castiglioncello Trinoro.

    The first archaeological evidence consistent date the first settlement in the Iron Age, with rich grave from the eighth century BC

    The famous Etruscan town of Clevsi, which later became the Latin Clusium (Klysion, Κλύσιον in ancient greek), had a fundamental importance, because it placed on the artery that connected Rome to Etruria northern, following the Tiber River and its main tributary, the Clanis, being extremely fertile valley of the valley.

    The first written records of closed date back to the Hellenistic period, when, in a document of Polybius, shows the name of the city closed in relation to invasion of the Celts. Then come the stories of people like Arunte and the famous lucumone manhole Porsenna.

    Chianciano

    By admin / 16th October, 2015 / / Off

    Surely one of the spas most famous in Italy; however increasingly to the waters, it is probably linked to the presence of a significant human settlement that would constitute a major center Etruscan-Roman. Important example of this is the finding of a monumental complex spa being excavated in central location “Mezzomiglio”. Many other finds of Etruscan and Roman times, some of whom recently discovered are visible in the Archaeological Museum “Delle Acque”.
    The city tourist-thermal arose adjacent to the old medieval Chianciano that embodies the small treasures of Romanesque and Renaissance: Some of these treasures – such as paintings of the Sienese school and Fiorentina, the followers of Duccio di Buoninsegna and Arnolfo di Cambio – you can admire in the Museum of Sacred Art in Palazzo dell’Arcipretura. Chianciano is at about 550 meters s.l.m. surrounded by large forests of oak, beech, oak and chestnut between Chiana and Val d’Orcia.

    Montepulciano

    By admin / 16th October, 2015 / / Off
    The beautiful town, which for its artistic and architectural remains has been called the “Perla del ‘500’, retains its beauty. Going up the steep villages, visitors will discover beautiful palaces and churches where the greatest architects of the Renaissance transfused their art. To see the beautiful Piazza Grande, with the Cathedral from the incomplete façade and the Town Hall; all around Renaissance palaces. In the valley below the town, in an unforgettable, outstanding and elegant mass of the Tempio di San Biagio.
