Municipality of Pienza, tourism and history

Tourist visiting Pienza

Anyone who is passionate about art history or simply a passionate tourist, sooner or later, should come to Tuscany to visit Pienza, one of the most wonderful examples of Renaissance urban planning.

Pienza, in fact, was completely transformed at the time of Pius II who decided to transform her hometown, which at the time was called Corsignano, into a city ideal of the Renaissance to which the name of Pienza was given.
Almost everything that is interesting to visit is located along the main street, Corso Rosselino: the Duomo, the Church of San Francesco, the Town Hall, the Bishop's Palace and the stately buildings are worth a long stop to admire the details and decorations.

Many of the buildings were built by one of the most famous architects of the time so much so that instead of calling it 'the city of Pius II' it is could name it “the city of Rosselino”. He was an Italian architect and sculptor. A real artist. One of his works is the splendid Palazzo Piccolomini — at the time a papal residence.

From the small, Renaissance roof garden, which forms the integral part of the building, extends the breathtaking view of the entire Val d'Orcia: fields, vineyards and olive groves.

Pienza is also famous for some gastronomic specialties. The first part of the Rosselino course is dotted with numerous grocery stores where you can buy oil, cold cuts and cheeses including the famous pecorino cheese.
