Writing with Light

Ristorante

San Quirico D’Orcia is a small medieval town located between Pienze and Montalcino. The town is encircled by fortified walls and walking through the tiny streets throws you back to a time long forgotten. The historic city centre is home to about 2,500 inhabitants and there are 4 entrances into the city along the wall. All roads lead to the Piazza della Libertà which is the heart of the town.

As with all small, Tuscan town today one can find stores selling cheeses and pasta, leather goods and of course small restaurants offering homemade delicacies that one can only dream of at home.

  1. Closely guarded recipes too Edith, unique to each of these little restaurants. It’s a wonderful country as is France for so many of the same reasons! My French/Italian lineage may make me biased but I don’t think so, it’s fact. Lovely photo. 🙂
