Our Region - La Valdichiana
Montepulciano
This is the largest Comune in the Sienese Valdichiana and contains six other villages: Abbadia di Montepulciano, Acquaviva, Gracciano, Montepulciano Stazione, S.Albino and Valiano.
Cortona
One of the twelve cities of the Etruscan League-substantial fragments of its primitive cyclopean defences can still
be seen, incorporated in the medieval walls.
Pienza
The town stands on the top of a hill which overlooks the splendid Val d'Orcia. Pienza is a mainly agricultural centre, particularly famous for its pecorino cheese.
Trasimeno Lake
The countryside surrounding Lake Trasimeno looks like a hilly amphitheater framing its surface (128 km², the largest lake in peninsular Italy, and bound as a Regional Park).
Arezzo
Arezzo is known worldwide as the City of Gold and the Giostra del Saracino, it was home to the oldest university in Tuscany, and one of the first in Europe.
Siena
Siena is universally known for its huge historical, artistic, scenic heritage and for its substantial stylistic unity of medieval urban furniture, as well as for the famous Palio.
