Itinerary

1. 1

   Piazza Grande a Montepulciano

   30min

   Montepulciano: The Pearl of the 16th Century Perched on a limestone ridge, Montepulciano is a medieval masterpiece with ancient Etruscan roots dating back to the 4th century BC. Surrounded by some of the world’s most famous vineyards, this city is a symphony of Renaissance architecture and world-class wine culture. Highlights of your visit: Piazza Grande: The monumental heart of the city, home to the 14th-century Palazzo Comunale and the Cathedral, featuring a magnificent triptych altar. The Pulcinella Tower: Spot the unique clock tower topped by the iconic figure of Pulcinella, a legendary character from the Commedia dell'Arte. Noble Heritage: Wander through steep, elegant streets lined with noble palaces and discover the historic "underground cathedrals"—ancient cellars carved into the rock where the Vino Nobile ages to perfection. Experience the authentic atmosphere of a town that has remained unchanged for centuries, blending Etruscan mystery with Tuscan elegance.

A Visionary Transformation Once a modest fortified village, Pienza was transformed in the 15th century by Pope Pius II into the world’s first "Ideal City." This Renaissance masterpiece was designed to represent harmony and beauty, featuring perfectly proportioned palaces and the stunning Piazza Pio II. A Foodie’s Paradise Pienza is not only about history; it is a world-class gastronomic destination. Wander through its romantic streets—like Via dell’Amore (Love Street)—filled with the aroma of the famous Pecorino di Pienza.
