I don't know who is interested. Pienza is just the perfect city. For the elderly and the curious

Sometimes you look at the ideal and understand. Boring.

So Pienza.

A town in the Italian province of Siena with a population of 2231 people. In the 15th century, the village of Corsignano stood on the site of the city, the native of which was Pope Pius II from the Sienese Piccolomini family. He ordered the Florentine architect Bernardo Rossellino to rebuild the village into an ideal Renaissance city, which was carried out after 1459. Among the most significant buildings are the cathedral church and numerous palazzos (Piccolomini, Borgia, Comunale, Gonzaga). First applied in Pienza, the rational urban planning scheme was adopted by the architects of many other cities in Europe.

And it's warm, beautiful, delicious cheese, wine. . . It's a well-feeling city for the elderly : -) Morning, church, bazaar, tourists. . . wine, spaghetti, sleep. Something like this... But the coffee here is AMAZING. The Italian cooked it superbly. Gave me a double portion for the standard price : -)

Let me disagree. I really liked Pienza - with its "parquet" narrow streets, an abundance of baskets and pots of flowers, a panorama of the Tuscan hills opening from the fortress wall. And delicious cheeses. And it did not seem at all - "for the elderly." :)
I even specifically re-read about my impressions two years ago here on the forum: http://www.turpravda.ua/forums/discussion/83947/obrazy_italii_inkomartura/p5

I will not only allow, but I will also be glad to disagree :-)) I love communication, and not these likes / not likes. Just a post was about sights. Unfortunately, I didn't find one for myself. I liked the city. There is a charm in this silence and tranquility in the hills of Tuscany. Wine and cheeses - undeniably: eight, nine .. Out ... :-)
