Of
Titus Arnu, Santa Fiora
Even the town sign signals beauty: “Uno dei borghi più belli d’Italia” is written there. Santa Fiora is officially one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. You park in front of the city wall, walk over a bridge to the piazza and stand in amazement in a medieval town that looks as if it had been invented by the Italian Ministry of Tourism. A palazzo from the 15th century with turrets and flags, a gelateria, several flower shops, nice bars, wine shops and trattorias, cobbled streets, picturesque stairs and gates, a trout pool with fresh spring water and all around the densely wooded slopes of the 1800 meter high Monte Amiata .
