Its territory is crossed by the <strong>Merse and Farma rivers<\/strong> which give life to two magnificent natural reserves, places of peace and tranquillity.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>natural reserve of the Farma torrent<\/strong> is situated between Monticiano and Roccastrada and has an extension of 1500 hectares of hills characterized by woods, small areas used for cultivation and pasture plots. The <strong>Natural Reserve of Alto Merse<\/strong> is located between Chiusdino, Monticiano. Both areas are surrounded by woods of century-old trees and represent a valid alternative for excursions, thermal baths and out-of-town trips.<\/p>\n<p>We are talking about thermal baths because very close to the two reserves mentioned above, there are the <strong>Petriolo Thermal Baths<\/strong> whose therapeutic sources flow at 43\u00b0 and are rich in salts and beneficial properties. This oasis of well-being has always been highly appreciated and frequented by the most illustrious families in history such as the Medici, Malatesta and Gonzaga families.<\/p>\n<p>In the Monticiano area there is also the famous <strong>Kurt Laurenz Metzler Garden<\/strong>, founded in 1995. The Swiss author used the Sienese landscape as a scenic space to theatrically arrange his sample of about 50 coloured human figures in iron, marble, aluminium and bronze that portray the relationship between man and the territory.<\/p>\n<p>The oldest part of the village of Monticiano is situated on a hill from the top of which you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the valley of the river Merse. <\/p>\n<p>In Monticiano there are several very interesting churches to visit both for their composition and for the variety and importance of the <strong>artistic works<\/strong> inside. <\/p>\n<p>To remember the origins of this town, every year in October the <strong>Palio dei Ciuchi<\/strong> is celebrated, a donkey race in medieval costume that brings us back to the past. <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\"https:\/\/www.villadisotto.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Monticiano_Villa_di_Sotto_Surroundings.pdf\" button_text=\"Download PDF\" button_alignment=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.17.6\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_color=\"#d3b14c\" button_bg_color=\"#ffffff\" button_border_color=\"#d3b14c\" button_icon=\"&#x35;||divi||400\" background_layout=\"dark\" hover_enabled=\"0\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" text_orientation=\"center\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d185956.89829458913!2d11.20354735957926!3d43.26029607213967!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x132bcfb5562d131f%3A0xe86612684d6fa43b!2sVilla%20Di%20Sotto%2C%20Villa%20Di%20Sotto%2C%20Via%20di%20Santa%20Caterina%2C%20Villa%20A%20Sesta%2C%20SI!3m2!1d43.384491!2d11.479875!4m5!1s0x13298590e63637b5%3A0xd79698845ce1cfaf!2s53015%20Monticiano%20SI!3m2!1d43.1394707!2d11.1777482!5e0!3m2!1sit!2sit!4v1605021756496!5m2!1sit!2sit\" width=\"1500\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: 0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"||12px|||\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" header_2_font=\"Petit Formal Script|700|||||||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>\n<h2>Continue with the discovery of Chianti...<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=\"off\" posts_number=\"3\" include_categories=\"31\" use_manual_excerpt=\"off\" show_author=\"off\" show_date=\"off\" show_categories=\"off\" show_excerpt=\"off\" offset_number=\"14\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" header_font=\"|600|on||||||\" header_text_align=\"center\" pagination_font_size=\"18px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monticiano A medieval village with two rivers and two natural reservesAmong the beautiful hills of Terre di Siena is Monticiano with all its authenticity.
