The city is of Etruscan origin. It seems that it was founded by the nobles of the nearby Etruscan city of Chiusi, who probably took refuge on this high and inaccessible hill (605 mt s.l.m.), probably during the barbarian invasions. From here, we think, the origin of the name: called by the Etruscans “Mons Politus”, ie “Monte dei nobili” would later become “Mons Politianus”. The current splendor of the city, defined as the “pearl of the ‘500” is the result of the preference it has always granted to the city of Florence rather than to that of the nearest Siena. The powerful city of Florence, in order to maintain the favors of this rich ally, the last outpost in the south of Tuscany, returned, especially during the Renaissance, sending its most important artists to work there.<\/p>\n

Beautiful town located in the heart of Val D'Orcia, is considered the embodiment of the Renaissance utopia of the ideal city. Built following a decree issued by Pope Pius II (Enea Silvio de 'Piccolomini), from which the town takes its name, it has been recognized as a UNESCO site in 1996.-17 km from Villa Talosa.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t
