Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra

Siena is the medieval city that most retains its original beauty. The Duomo is an example of art and architecture, with its sculptures and paintings, exceptional floors and Gothic vaults. A few steps from the Duomo is Piazza del Campo, where the very famous Palio Horse race is run twice a year. Fontegaia, Palazzo Pubblico and the wonderful Torre del Mangia are only few of the beauty examples of art in this Piazza.
If you happen to be in Tuscany you cannot miss a visit in San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its famous towers surprise the city visitors their beauty and unique style, as well as the small town center does and the wonderful views in the surrounding are.
Volterra is another must destination. This medieval town has been selected for several movies, among them The Twilight Saga.

VAL D’ORCIA, MONTEPULCIANO, PIENZA & MONTALCINO

Montepulciano è un bellissimo paesino situato nella parte più alta di una collina con una meravigliosa vista sulle vigne circostanti, così come Pienza, perfetta rappresentazione di una piccola e curatissima città medioevale. Montepulciano is a beautiful village located in the highest part of a hill with a wonderful view of the surrounding vineyards, Montalcino is mainly known for the "superb" Brunello, but the lively town is certainly worth a visit, especially in summer nights.
Pienza, the native town of Pope Pius II, is considered the “touchstone of Renaissance urbanism”. Still today is the perfect representation of a small and well-kept medieval city. A visit to the Monte Oliveto Abbey is just the right conclusion of a very rich journey through natural beauty and artistic details.
