Wedding in castiglione d'orcia

The Castiglione d’Orcia goes from the typical smooth hills in the valley of Val d’Orcia to the green mountainous woodlands of Monte Amiata. In the downhill, on what remains of the via Francigena, the well preserved medieval posts were used by the pilgrims to stop during their journey to Rome. The village of Rocca d’Orcia  shows the magnificent fortress where Sain Catherine lived and where the wellknown  Cartha Libertais was signed at the end of the 13th century.
