Terrapille country house in Val D'Orcia, Siena

The Val da??Orcia is a region of Tuscany, central Italy, which extends from the hills south of Siena to Monte Amiata. Its gentle, cultivated hills are occasionally broken by gullies and by picturesque towns and villages such as Pienza, San Quirico d'Orcia and Montalcino.
Its landscape has been depicted in works of art from Renaissance painting to modern photography.
