Pienza is one of my favorite places in the countryside of Tuscany and if you are planning a a trip to Tuscany I suggest that you read our 7 days itinerary. The first time I visited Pienza was 5 years ago and I got crazy about the cheese: Pienza is internationally known for its delicious pecorino. I remember I ate a small pecorino with truffles in one night alone! There is also a cheese festival once a year (today and tomorrow!), you can get information at Tuscanycious blog. Another interesting thing is that some romantic people include Pienza in their romantic itinerary (read here to discover why).  Hope you have a nice time in Pienza too! Let us know!

Every Saturday AroundTuscany selects the best photos of Tuscany found on Flickr. We choose a certain subject and we select some pictures taken by people we don’t know: maybe from a traveler, from someone who lives in Tuscany… the point is to show you the “real Tuscany”. There are so many real Tuscanies inside Tuscany that a single point of view wouldn’t be enough. Hope you enjoy the idea and stay tuned because we might select your picture next week!
