San Casciano in Val di Pesa
Firenze
Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered the place of origin of the Renaissance and is universally recognized as one of the cradles of art and architecture. It is renowned as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, thanks to its numerous monuments and museums – including the Duomo, Santa Croce, the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Pitti. The left bank of the Arno, (the Oltrarno) is an area rich in monuments where you can still breathe, among its secular artisan shops, the atmosphere of the Florence of the past, described for example by Vasco Pratolini.
Siena
The city is universally known for its huge historical, artistic and landscape heritage and for its substantial stylistic unity of medieval urban furnishings, as well as for the famous Palio. In 1995, its historic center was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Piazza del Campo is truly unique and unmistakable: thanks to the particular shell shape and the brick color given by the terracotta flooring and the cladding of the buildings that overlook it, positioning yourself in the center of the square you almost feel wrapped in a warm embrace.
Piazza del Campo hosts, twice a year, on July 2nd and August 16th, the famous Palio di Siena, the most awaited event by all Sienese. In the square you can admire the Fonte Gaia, the largest fountain in the city decorated, in the original version, with sculptures by Jacopo della Quercia. The fountain we see today is a copy, made of Carrara marble, much more resistant than the original Montagnola Senese marble used by della Quercia (the ancient restored fountain can be seen in the museum complex of Santa Maria della Scala). Among the buildings overlooking Piazza del Campo you cannot miss the Palazzo Comunale and the Torre del Mangia. The imposing Palazzo Comunale, in brick and marble, houses the Civic Museum of the city with various masterpieces by Sienese artists. The Cathedral of Siena, or the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is one of the most notable examples of a church in the Italian Romanesque-Gothic style.
San Gimignano
Wherever you arrive in San Gimignano, this municipality stands out on the hill at over 300 meters above sea level with all its towers. Today there are 13 of them, but it is said that in the fourteenth century there were over seventy, one for each wealthy family who expressed their economic power in this way.
Not far away is Volterra, an extremely ancient city of Etruscan origin, repeatedly conquered over the centuries by the Romans, the Barbarians and the Florentine legions. Its suggestive historic center dotted with churches, pievi and museums has been the location of national and international film sets several times. Another village of indisputable charm is Monteriggioni, famous for its still intact walls which have completely surrounded it since the early 1200s for a length of 570 metres, interspersed with 14 towers and two gates. A part of the walkway of the walls has recently been opened to the public and can be visited: from here you can admire the Chianti countryside and the Val d’Elsa as far as the eye can see. It is worth stopping in the ancient medieval village of Volpaia, a small fraction of Radda dedicated to the production of Chianti Classico wine.
