Montepulciano: introduction
Without doubt Montepulciano has to be one of the most beautiful Medieval towns of Tuscany, resting at 600 meters above sea level protected by still impressively intact walls. Montepulciano is known for its noble Renaissance town houses and for the elegant architecture of its churches.
Among the many monuments to be admired: Palazzo Budelli, Palazzo Comunale, the Temple of the Madonna of St Biagio and the Church of St Agostino. All of the buildings are of great artistic significance and are linked to Michelozzo, Antonio da Sangallo and Pietro Budelli.
Montepulciano is also known for its fine wine, the Vino Nobile, much acclaimed internationally, and produced in the surrounding countryside. It is the home to many traditional events such as the summer Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte, the Bruscello, and the Bravio with period costumes and tournaments which evoke the history of Montepulciano.
