  • Pienza, a 2200-inhabitant small town in southern Tuscany, is located in the Val d´Orcia between Montepulciano and Montalcino.. The place, originally called Corsignano, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2004 along with San Quirinco d´Orcia.. <9> <9> <994/1654521> <994/1654525> <994/1654526> <994/1649215> <994/1649217> <994/1649221> <9> <9> Pienza, the ´ideal city´ < 9> <982> <9> Pope Pius II had high-flying plans in 1458 for his birthplace, Corsignano.. Together with the architects Battista Alberti and Bernado Rossellino he wanted to create the ´ideal city´ according to the specifications of the Renaissance ideals.. <9> In the course of 6 years, Corsignano changed to Pienza <9>. However, Pius´ plans could not be completed because the Pope and his master builder Rosselino died in 1464.. <9> <982> <9> <9> <994/1649216> <994/1649220> <994/1649223> <994/1649224> <994/1649226> <994/1649227> <994/1649228> <994 / 1654524> <994/1654520> <9> <9> Nevertheless, the completed squares and buildings may serve as examples of the Pope´s visions: <9> <9> * Papal Palace ´Palazzo Piccolomini´ <9> * Episcopal Palace ´Palazzo Vescovile´ < 9> * Church of San Francesco <9> * Duomo Santa Maria Assunta, built from 1459 - 1462 by Rossellino <9> <982> <9> Piazza Pio II, with the Palazzo Palazzo Piccolomini, the Palazzo Vescovile , the Duomo Santa Maria Assunta and the ´Pozzo the Cani´ fountain are considered one of the most beautiful Tuscan Renaissance sites.. <9> From the palace you have a wonderful view of the Monte Amiata and the Orcia Valley, it has hanging gardens and on the top of its 3 floors a museum, including the library of the Pope.. <9> <9> <9> * The Museo Diocesano and the Museo della Cattedrale show a variety of ecclesiastical art treasures, including goldsmith´s work, tapestries and wooden statues.. <9> <982> <9> * Corso Rossellino <9> This is the main shopping street of the resort.. It leads from the western end, marked by the city gate Porta al Prato to the eastern end with the city gate Porta al Ciglio and is THE shopping mile par excellence.. <9> In addition to boutiques, souvenir shops, etc., there are of course shops selling typical Tuscan items such as wine, olive oil and Pecorina di Pienza, a very good sheep´s cheese.. <9> The cheese dairy ´Caseificio Cacio di Pienza´ and the ´La Bottega del Naturista´ are good places to buy the cheese. <9> In September we celebrate the ´Fiera del Cacio´ cheese festival.. <9> <982> <9> Festival della Val d´Orcia <9> <982> <9> a music and theatrical event known across the national borders, located in all the towns of the Val d´Orcia, the ´Parco Artistic Naturale della Val d´Orcia ´and thus also in Pienza.. <9> <982> <9>
