Val d’Orcia is one of the scenic wonders of Tuscany which has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2004. This town is located in the province of Siena and represents one of those places where the ancient city-state expressed its maximum potential in architectural and pictorial terms. It is certainly no coincidence that this valley was one of the most celebrated subjects by the painters of the Sienese school that flourished between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, as evidenced by the cycle of frescoes by Ambrosio Lorezzetti an allegory describing the so-called “good and bad effects of the Sienese government “preserved in the majestic Palazzo Pubblico in the city of the Palio. The landscape of the Val d’Orcia is represented by dense vegetation that alternates with long stretches of vineyards and olive groves. The country roads are surrounded by cypresses and along the hills there are also beech and chestnut woods. In this bucolic landscape to dominate the scene there are ancient villages of medieval origin, beautiful rural houses, fortresses and towers that watch over this land. Historically speaking, the fate of the Val d’Orcia has always been linked to that of the Via Cassia, a famous Roman road that connected the capital with northern Italy and which crosses the entire valley. The continuous transit of men and goods has enriched this territory and the inhabited centers that make up this area of ​​Tuscany, arousing the interest of Siena as early as the 15th century AD. Among the most beautiful and important villages of the Val d’Orcia we find: Montalcino, Radicofani, Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia and Castigline d’Orcia. These five municipalities form the park of Val D’Orcia, the institution set up to protect the landscape and the history of the valley. The potential of this land also goes beyond its nature and art, in fact the Val d’Orcia is also renowned for being the home of some of the most popular gastronomic products throughout Europe such as Pecorino di Pienza, honey from the Val d ‘ Orcia, extra-virgin olive oil from Castiglione d’Orica and Cinta Senese cured meats.
