I can see why you liked this area. The panorama views of the countryside from the Palazzo Piccolomini are absolutely breathtaking. | 1courage Wed Aug 8, 2007 21:57 UTC
Pienza é una tipica cittadina graziosa italiana, con palazzi bellissimi, un atmosfera inconfondibile, un Palazzo comunale con torre, una cattedrale antica, ricostruita in diversi stili. Pienza mi piace! |
