Tuscany is the heart of Italy and Siena is the heart of Tuscany.
Few areas in the world can boast the
variety of landscape and economy distinguishing the territory
of Siena, where every town, village or hamlet contains art
treasures and historical evidence of priceless value.
It begins in the north with the incomparable
scenic beauty of the Chianti lands, with their patchwork of
wines and olive trees standing out in orderly rows against
the hills tamed by the farmers' skill.
Alongside the province the land dries
up into the characteristic scenery of the "crete"
(clay hills), bread white, plungingdown into eroded furrows
and clinging to the proud, isolated cypresses atop the cliffs.
