Pienza is a charming small town in the heart of Tuscany. Known for its stunning Renaissance architecture, Pienza was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The town was originally known as Corsignano until it was transformed by Pope Pius II in the 15th century into a model Renaissance town.

Pienza's most notable landmark is the Piazza Pio II, which is surrounded by impressive Renaissance buildings, including the Palazzo Piccolomini, the Duomo di Pienza, and the Palazzo Borgia. The town is also famous for its Pecorino cheese, which is produced using traditional methods in the surrounding countryside. You can enjoy a cheese tasting and learn about the cheese-making process at one of the many cheese shops and dairy farms in the area.

Overall, Pienza is a picturesque town with a rich history and cultural heritage that is worth exploring.
