A quick tour of Montepulciano

 Later this week our school is taking us on a formal tour of Montepulciano.  After that I will be able to give you a REAL tour with fascinating information, history, facts, details, etc.  The only thing I can offer today are just some glimpses into the typical scenes one sees in a medieval hilltop city.

First, is the view over Tuscany:


After that, twisty streets:
Ancient buildings:
Great knockers:

Exquisite secret gardens:

Kitty cats:

Ancient churches and lots of them:


Incredible restaurants and wine stores, especially here in Montepulciano where Rosso and Vino Nobile are the kings:


And then, an aperitivo with the class and a stunning vista:


 A presto!

  1. It seems I'm never signed in when I want to comment, but today! I am! Each town and village is better than the last. I don't like the looks of those curly fries- but maybe you got the subjunctive wrong and it isn't what you'd ordered? Thank you for sharing, and know that I'm reading more than I'm commenting.
