History Sneak Peek

All of the three towns we will visit poses turbulent histories that made their mark on the culture and architecture of these settlements.

For example, the foundation of Montalcino is work of a group of refugees from the town of Roselle. Despite the many changes of allegiances, rulers, and political conditions, the town managed to keep its medieval urban structure to this day.

On the other hand, Pienza is relatively young (at least by its name). Although the town stands on an ancient development of Etruscan origins, Corsignano, Pienza came about a bit later. It was founded by Pope Pius II to honor a great humanist, Enea Silvio Piccolomini.

Montepulciano, according to a legend, was founded by an Etruscan King Porsenna in the 6th century BC. Thanks to the towns strategic location, fertile farming land, and excellent winemaking climate, the town did very well for itself since its humble beginnings.
