What are the attractions and things to do in Italy?
-
Pienza is a small town in the Province of Siena, whose historic center
has been awarded the prestigious recognition of UNESCO World Heritage
Site. The town planning of Pienza is another important example of the
application of the principles of the "Ideal City". Initially, the
restructuring desired by Pope Pius II, was to be limited to the
historic center only, only later was it decided to continue the
project by extending it to the whole town. The works were commissioned
to Bernardo Rossellino and at the end of these the Cathedral, the
Palazzo Comunale, and those of the Borgia and Piccolomini families
were inaugurated..
