Pienza, a small town near Siena, is a rare example of Renaissance town building. Defined,
from time to time, the "ideal city", the "utopian city", it represents one of the best
planned Renaissance towns, where a model of ideal living and governing was realized thus
working out the idea of a town able to satisfy the need for a pacific, civil and hardworking
living. Its location in the middle of Val d'Orcia, a wonderful and untouched valley,
enables the town to perfectly embody the basic interest which the humanistic architecture
gave to the relationship man nature.
