Greetings from beautiful Montepulciano, Italy! As you can see, we’ve moved down the boot of Italy to our new home. We’re still in Tuscany, but now we’re in the Southern part. It’s close to the area know as Umbria and it’s quite beautiful.
Our new home, it’s two story’s high and just outside Montepulciano. It’s very Italian!You know tour guide Cindy had to find a VRBO with a fireplace ✔️Ok, walking tour time! We’re right next to the village so we can walk from the Villa. It’s very hilly in Tuscany!St. Agnes Church, right as you enter Montepulciano.Still in regular use, it’s being setup for a wedding.Montepulciano is a walled city with its current structures from the Medieval era. But like all cities in Italy, it has a long, long history.Todays Montepulciano is a mixture of tourism and quite a large artistic colony. Several world famous music schools are located here.One of the walled cities entryways. Cindy and I love Montepulciano. It’s one of our favorite places in the world.Ok, let’s start walking…straight up. Oh gosh, cobblestones and hills two of my favorite things.They allow cars in the walled city, be careful!Look at those beautiful Tuscan blue skies. It’s chilly, 32 degrees and 51 degrees today!Chiesa di San AgostinoAgain, this church is in regular use. Montepulciano inside the walled city has several thousand residents.It’s very quiet. It’s Saturday and lots of shops close for the winter here. Spring, summer and fall, this place is hopping.Your climbing now, views of the valley below are spectacular.Wow.This is an Enoteca, small wine shop. You can do wine tastings here and they carry wines from the region. Contrary to popular thoughts, wine in Italy is inexpensive. They send the expensive stuff to China, USA and Canada.View from the end of the hill. I like to sit here and relax, maybe a little people watching ✔️Palazzo del Comune, municipal hall for Montepulciano. Love that blue sky.Cattedrale of Montepulciano.Ok, that’s the top, let’s walk down. That screams Montepulciano to me.I’m sure you see why we love it here.
