All of the three cities you will visit during your day trip from Siena have turbulent histories full of mystery. The past events marked their architecture as well as culture.
For instance, behind the foundation of Montalcino is a group of refugees from the nearby town of Roselle. Despite changing allegiances and rulers, the town kept its medieval urban structure until the present day.
On the other hand, the town Pienza, or at least by its name, is relatively young. The town does stand on an ancient development, Corsignano, of Etruscan or Roman origin. However, Pienza, as we know it today, was established by Pope Pius II in the honor of a great humanist, Enea Silvio Piccolomini who was born here at the beginning of the 15th century.
When it comes to Montepulciano, the legend has it, the Etruscan King Porsenna founded the town in the 6th century BC. Thanks to its strategic location, great farming land and even better winemaking climate the town did well for itself. Although the town experienced its most prosperous period when served as episcopate for the Medici family and the Grand Duke of Tuscany!
