§ The original idea was to visit Volterra where I didn't go for at least the last 30 years and which revealed itself even more beautiful than in my memories.

Non per nulla anche Dante Alighieri la citò nella Divina Commedia
)
« [...] però che, come in su la cerchia tonda Monteriggion di torri si corona, così la proda che 'l pozzo circonda torregiavan di mezza la persona li orribili giganti, cui minaccia Giove del cielo ancora quando tona » |
(Dante Alighieri, Inferno canto XXXI, vv. 40-45) |
Enough said that Dante Alighieri quoted it in his Divina Commedia

§ We also managed to visit Colle Val D'Elsa, another medieval and renaissance jewel
IL PALAGETTO
|
È locato in un angolo di paradiso, ogni finestra, ogni arco incornicia una vista meravigliosa.
Le stanze sono indipendenti e bellissime - almeno la nostra lo era ;o) .
La proprietaria ed i coadiutori sono gentilissimi ed il ristorante si è rivelato all'altezza del panorama.

§ But all this has been made even more memorable by lodging in a wonderful agri hotel, Il Palagetto which I strongly recommend to everybody.
It is situated in a heavenly corner of countryside, each window, each arch framing a marvellous sight. The rooms are independent and beautiful - at least our was ;o).
The owner and her assistants are overly kind and the restaurant was at the same level of the landscape.

What wonderful photos, thank you for sharing and making the rest of us feel so envious! Tuscany is timeless and so so beautiful. You make me want to go back right now (especially as we have 'soft' rain here today in Ireland)
Buongiorno Rosanna,
Mi hai fatto venire la voglia di prendere un aereo e partire subito! E tutto cosi bello. Sono contento che ti sei divertita e ti ringrazio per tutte queste belle photos.
Grande abbraccio

Giac , venite subito !! Sarei felice di farvi da guida :-)
Dear Rosanna, your pictures are so beautiful... of a region that is amazing in its unspoiled and pure beauty! I only wish I could visit them too! I have always loved Medieval things.... and old walled towns with old Medieval buildings are a fantasy.... I am so happy you got to visit and shared these pictures with us!
Sei passata vicinissima dal mio paese, Poggibonsi.
Thank you for taking us along with you on this wonderful trip to one of the most beautiful regions in the world...
Hugs

Hi Rosanna, Thanks for bringing back my wonderful memories of San Gimignano, I had also visited the area four years ago and loved it. I especially loved the miniature of the entire city in the museum in San Gimignano. God you enjoyed your visit as well.
