The very interesting town of Montepulciano, named “Pearl of ‘500”, has to be visited not only to admire its art and architectural treasures but also to test its fantastic and delicious red wine: Vino Nobile and to fit the body with its thermal bath.
The city is constructed along a ridge, which varies in level of between 50-60 metres and is reflected along the 1½ kilometres of main central street, that starts at the Porta al Prato and goes up to the Piazza Grande: the houses are arranged along the main street and in a series of short and narrow streets, often steep and more or less perpendicular.
Almost all the buildings of major importance appear along the main street and constitute a long series of facades almost like an exhibition of high level design. The strong growth of the wine market in the area is very high, as the pleasures of the Nobile di Montepulciano wine have been known at least since the 8th century AD.
Montepulciano, the town where Poliziano was born, is a fantastic tourist destination with a lot of interesting monuments, like Piazza Grande, Pozzo de Grifi e dei Leoni, Palazzo Comunale, Palazzo Cantucci, Palazzo Nobili Targhi, Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, Palazzo Tarugi del Vignola, Palazzo Avignonesi, Palazzo Gagnoni Giugni del Vignola, Palazzo Cervini; Duomo and several churches.

Places to visit: Casa dei Canonici, Palazzo Vescovile, Palazzo Piccolomini, Palazzo Comunale, Via delle Case Nuove and the numerous picturesque streets.
SIENA
About 60 Km from the campsite, easily reached by train or by car, Siena deserves a visit being one of the most beautiful and famous cities of Tuscany.
Surrounded by an enchanting landscape, full of important art, architectural and historical monuments, Siena is one of the most beautiful town in Italy and maybe in the world. Situated on the top of three hills, Siena is crossed by wide and narrow streets, which lead to the heart of the city: Piazza del Campo and to all the other cultural buildings like for example the Cathedral and Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala.

With its unique and well preserved medieval architecture, Siena is the ideal destination for all the people who love art and beauty.
AREZZO
Situated just 40 Km from the campsite, Arezzo, famous all over the world for its goldsmith’s art, lies on the hillside among Casentino, Valdarno and Val di Chiana.
It is a little jewel surrounded by Walls of the thirteenth century, where the first Sunday of each Month a typical antique market takes place. Arezzo has an Etruscan origin, it was allied of the Romans (“Arretium”), but the buildings of that time were destroyed by Barbarian invasions.
After a long period of decline, Arezzo returned to be thriving in the communal period, until it was dominated by Florence, which led to a change in its urban scenery and a new decline that ended only after the Unification of Italy.
The city has walls that encircle along the current via Garibaldi, which are a continuation of the Etruscan-Roman ones. From this magnificent city are some famous personalities: from Petrarch to Vasari and Aretino.
With the construction of the Rome-Florence, the town became more modern, with the new via Guido Monaco, whose expansion occurred over the years in parallel to industrial development. During summer, in late June and early September, don’t miss the famed Giostra del Saracino, a knightly Tournament in which they challenge the districts of the town, recalling the ancient splendor of the city.
FIRENZE
About 90 km far from the campsite, Florence is easy to reach by train through the railway line Terontola-Firenze. Of course, it is the city that symbolizes the Italian Renaissance, homeland of famous artists, sculptors, painters, writers, poets, such as Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Giotto and Petrarch.

About 65 km far from the campsite, Montalcino, the pearl of Val d’Orcia, is renowned around the world for the production of its extraordinary Brunello wine.
Sheltered on a hill between Mount Amiata and Siena, surrounded by impressive walls and overlooked by the fortress of the 15th century, Montalcino is an enchating fabled beauty. The village has remained almost intact since the 16th century and offers visitors a splendid view over the hills of Val d’Orcia, a Unesco World Heritage site.

PISA
About 200 km far from the campsite, during your stay in Umbria and Tuscany the city of Pisa certainly deserves a visit; Pisa is known throughout the world for the wonderful Piazza dei Miracoli, declared World Heritage Site by Unesco.
