The Val d'Orcia in the heartland of Tuscany. It has been protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The landscape’s distinctive aesthetics, flat chalk plains out of which rise almost conical hills with fortified settlements on top, inspired many artists. Their images have come to exemplify the beauty of well-managed Renaissance agricultural landscapes.
