| Video Discription | Pienza is an Italian town in the province of Siena in Tuscany. It is probably the most renowned and most important artistic center of the whole Val d'Orcia. It is not far from the Cassia state road and from the other two important centers of the valley, San Quirico d'Orcia and Castiglione d'Orcia. The historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The city until 1462 was nothing but a small village called Corsignano. The event that changed its fortunes was the birth in 1405 of Enea Silvio Piccolomini who 53 years later became Pope Pius II. Just a trip of the pontiff to Mantua led him to cross the place of birth and the degradation he found led him to decide the construction of a new ideal city over the ancient village, entrusting the renovation project to the architect Bernardo Rossellino: the construction it lasted about four years and brought to light a harmonious town with typically fifteenth-century forms. The untimely death of Pope Pius II also closed the history of the new city, which since then has undergone limited changes. For the beauty of its historic Renaissance center, in 1996 Pienza became part of UNESCO's natural, artistic and cultural heritage, followed in 2004 by the same valley area in which it stands: the Val d'Orcia. Natural history: in 2003, in the Lucciola Bella nature reserve, fossil remains of an Etruridelphis giulii (marine mammal similar to a dolphin) re-emerged, lived in the area over 4.5 million years ago, in a period in which the current gullies they were the bottom of the Tyrrhenian sea. The fossil has been considered by scholars of great scientific value, because it is the most complete finding of the species existing in the world. 7lBS6pZuhyU |
