Hey there, did you know that in the heart of Val d’Orcia, there exists the perfect Renaissance town? Right near my hometown, nestled in the countryside of Siena, lies Pienza. Let me tell you a bit about this charming place.
🎨Pienza is a town that whispers tales of history. It owes its beauty to the vision of Pope Pius II, who transformed it from a simple village into a masterpiece of Renaissance urban planning. The cathedral, a marvel designed by Bernardo Rossellino under the influence of Leon Battista Alberti, stands tall, a testament to exquisite architecture.
🏡As you wander through the cobblestone streets, you’ll stumble upon the magnificent well, where locals and travelers gather, surrounded by the town’s enchanting aura.
🌿But what truly captivates most is the breathtaking view of the rolling Tuscan countryside, a picturesque panorama that leaves you in awe. The narrow alleys, adorned with rustic charm, invite you to wander and explore at every turn.
🧀And let’s talk about flavors! Pienza is renowned for its delectable pecorino cheese, a true delight for cheese enthusiasts. Don’t miss out on savoring the traditional hand-rolled pasta, ‘pici,’ a culinary marvel that embodies the essence of Tuscan cuisine.
🍷Of course, paired with the local wine, the experience becomes extraordinary. Pienza’s vineyards yield some of the most exquisite wines, a perfect complement to the region’s culinary treasures.
Pienza, thanks to the visions of Pio II and the architectural brilliance of Alberti and Rossellino, isn’t just a town; it’s an immersion into the essence of Tuscany. It’s a place where history, culture, and gastronomy merge seamlessly, creating an unforgettable experience. Come, explore Pienza, and let yourself be captivated by its beauty and charm. Cheers to the perfect blend of Renaissance heritage and Tuscan delights! 🏰🍇🇮🇹🖼️

🔥🔥In my hometown Abbadia San Salvatore, everything is set for this December 24th, the most anticipated night of the year. I decided to share this video I made in 2019 to show you my favorite day of the year.
🎄Christmas here is a unique blend of tradition, magic, and ancient rituals thanks to the #fiaccole one of Italy's oldest tradition.
🪵This tradition originates from a deeply cherished and participatory millenarian custom. The event's preparation begins weeks ago when the "torchbearers" start gathering materials to construct the "fiaccole" - distinctive pyramidal woodpiles reaching up to seven meters high. These structures, scattered throughout my small medieval village, await Christmas Eve when they'll be set ablaze.
🔥The entire community collaborates in crafting these unique rural monuments. For days on end, they intertwine logs, defying gravity with techniques passed down through generations, honoring a fire ritual that embraces everyone by blending symbolic pagan and religious meanings.
🌋The inhabitants of Amiata, a volcanic origin mother mountain, are "children of fire." Within its depths lay incandescent lava that nurtured a generous land providing sustenance and prosperity to the community since ancient times. From those depths, cinnabar was extracted until recently, processed to obtain mercury in the vast mine, now transformed into a museum.
🪵🔥It's a complex history intertwining man and nature in an inseparable bond, a sometimes challenging yet always loving dialogue. The mountain, revered and cherished as a sacred mother, is celebrated by the locals "badenghi" as me through the fiaccole tradition.
