Don't miss the frescoes of the Church of Sant'Agostino, the collections of the Archaeological Museum and the Diocesan Civic Museum. We will also visit the Temple of Brunello, an immersive and emotional journey through multimedia stations, videos, interviews, and artistic masterpieces.

• Day 2: Cycling - Montalcino to Pienza (40 km / 750 m D+)
  Cycle through the roads of Eroica and Eroica Montalcino in the Val d'Orcia Park, a perfect blend of art and nature. There are three sections of dirt roads, totaling 14 km. The only notable detail is the steep descent from Vignoni Alto to Bagno Vignoni, which is, however, cemented. Pienza has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. Considered the ideal city of the Renaissance, it was commissioned by the humanist Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Pope Pius II, and it stands unchanged in the midst of the bright landscape of the Val d'Orcia. We will delve into its history and art, visiting the magnificent historic center with the "All inclusive Pass," a unique ticket valid for 2 days, which allows you to explore independently with an audio guide: Palazzo Piccolomini and its Garden, Palazzo Borgia with the Diocesan Museum, the Crypt with its Labyrinth, and the Cathedral.
