Comune di Montepulciano
The last place we visited in the Val d’ Orcia region was the town of Montepulciano.
Renaissance Jewel: Pienza
On our way to the town of Pienza, we made a few stops to take photographs. Everything was beautifully breath taking.
Comune di Montalcino
On the south of Siena, about an hour away is a quaint hilltop town surrounded by its original medieval walls and miles of beautiful countryside.
