Seeing an office of tourism in this small town is a bit shocking. I would have thought that there would not have been one. Montepuciano is a very small city.
Although the city is small it does not lack beauty. This city is on the top of a mountain. Being able to see the city from the vineyard earlier in the day made me excited to go. I knew nothing about the city before arriving. The only things I had heard about it were on the bus ride that morning, I had heard a scene from New Moon from the Twilight Saga was filmed here.
The views from this area of Italy are absolutely beautiful. I now know how such a small city had so much tourism.
How can a secret passage way be a secret if there is a sign?? I always like to see what kind of interesting things I can find and here is one of them!
This is a picture of a picture of New Moon being filmed. The city seemed to be very proud to have had one of the largest grossing movies ever being filmed in their home town.
The beautiful alleyways were not only in Pienza!
We had been cooking with black truffles in class so it was interesting seeming them in the store here. I did not know how to ask how much they were in Italian. I know they are expensive but I wonder how expensive.
A beautiful view of Tuscany.
It seems as though the man would be ringing the bell when it comes time. Unfortunately, I did not get to see that happen!
