Pienza, cittadina toscana di 2230 abitanti in provincia di Siena, tra i centri più famosi e affascinanti della Val d'Orcia. Le dimensioni modeste e l'aspetto timido e discreto non devono ingannare: il cuore della cittadina è un tripudio di meraviglie architettoniche, artistiche e culturali, che nel 1996 hanno convinto l'UNESCO ad inserirla tra i siti
Patrimonio dell'Umanità.
L'originalità del comune è già insita nella sua storia: diversamente dai centri vicini, Pienza non è mai stata protagonista di avvenimenti sanguinosi o turbolenti, e pochi fatti hanno disturbato l'idillio di questa cittadina pacifica. A cambiare le sorti del piccolo borgo, noto fino al 1462 come Corsignano, fu la nascita di Enea Silvio Piccolomini nel 1405: 53 anni dopo sarebbe diventato Papa Pio II, e durante il suo pontificato si sarebbe preso a cuore il destino del luogo natio. Il Papa vide la possibilità di realizzare la sua città rinascimentale ideale, e incaricò l'architetto Bernardo Rossellino di trasformare l'antico villaggio in uno scenario tutto nuovo, adatto a celebrare l'armonia e la ricchezza del Quattrocento italiano.
Pienza è tuttora uno degli esempi più spettacolari e riusciti di progettazione urbanistica razionale, tipica del nostro Rinascimento. Come una platea di spettatori ammirati, le strade e gli edifici del centro si dispongono tutt'intorno alla piazza principale, ovviamente dedicata al celebre pontefice. Intorno alla piazza, suggestiva e elegante, si dispongono ordinati i palazzi più importanti della città: la Cattedrale, che svetta sulle altre costruzioni, ma anche il Palazzo Comunale, Palazzo Borgia e Palazzo Piccolomini.
Travel video about destination Pienza in Italy.
Surrounded by the magnificent and captivating hills of Tuscan Crete are the rooftops and towers of Pienza, a small town with 2,500 inhabitants. The town's history is indelibly associated with Pope Pius The Second who had a unique and resounding influence on what was also his birthplace. The head of the Roman Catholic Church decided to transform his home village into a perfect town of the Renaissance. The cathedral's interior walls are covered with several beautiful paintings created by numerous master artists of SIENA one of whom was Lorenzo Di Pietro who is also known as 'Il Vecchietta'. In order to intensify the light within the cathedral, and following the wishes of the Pope, the walls were originally bereft of paintings. Despite numerous renovations instigated by Pius The Second, the character of the majority of the town's houses, streets and old alleyways has been retained to the present day. The ,Street of Love", VIA DELL AMORE, or ,The Road of Kisses", contains more than a little romance. Unfortunately, little remains of the old castle of Corsignano that, prior to the Pope's construction programme, was once located in the centre of the town. The death of Pius The Second in August 1464 brought with it the sudden end of Pienza's golden years. Although the Pope's architectural ideals for the town were never fully realized he successfully transformed his home town forever.

The splendid City of Pienza, in Val d'Orcia (Siena - Tuscany), owes its fame and its beauty to the personage that profoundly shaped its history during the Italian Renaissance.
Pope Pius II (Enea Silvio Piccolomini) wished to give life to his dream of the "Ideal City," a place in which man could live in harmony with nature and with himself. Pius's idea was that of realizing a Renaissance city center within the old Medieval borgo of Corsignano, creating the first urban plan in history; he commissioned the master Italian architect Leon Battista Alberti to build it.
Pienza, the city of Pius, finds its insignias and emblems in the Cathedral and in Palazzo Piccolomini.
And in nearby Siena, in its Duomo lies the Piccolomini Library, where the important events of the life of Pius II are narrated with great mastery, through the frescoes of Pinturicchio.

Take the tour of Historic Pienza in Italy -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
In the countryside of Tuscany is a charming and delightful town that changed Italy.
From the small town of Pienza came Enea Silvio Piccolomini, the man who would be pope.
At 53 years of age, Enea became the pope and that event changed Pienza.
He wanted to transform Pienza into a Renaissance town, as a retreat from Rome.
This was the birth of the idea of Renaissance urban planning, which spread throughout Europe.
One of the most spectacular buildings of the new Pienza was the grand Cathedral.
Pienza contains many of the old Renaissance buildings, and is a beautiful part of Tuscany.

Pienza
Pienza, a town and comune in the province of Siena, in the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany (central Italy), between the towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino, is the "touchstone of Renaissance urbanism."
In 1996, UNESCO declared the town a World Heritage Site, and in 2004 the entire valley, the Val d'Orcia, was included on the list of UNESCO's World Cultural Landscapes.
History
Pienza was rebuilt from a village called Corsignano, which was the birthplace (1405) of Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (Italian: Enea Silvio Piccolomini), a Renaissance humanist born into an exiled Sienese family, who later became Pope Pius II. Once he became Pope, Piccolomini had the entire village rebuilt as an ideal Renaissance town. Intended as a retreat from Rome, it represents the first application of humanist urban planning concepts, creating an impetus for planning that was adopted in other Italian towns and cities and eventually spread to other European centers.
The rebuilding was done by Florentine architect Bernardo Gambarelli (known as Bernardo Rossellino) who may have worked with the humanist and architect Leon Battista Alberti, though there are no documents to prove it for sure. Alberti was in the employ of the Papal Curia at the time and served as an advisor to Pius. Construction started about 1459. Pope Pius II consecrated the Duomo on August 29, 1462, during his long summer visit. He included a detailed description of the structures in his Commentaries, written during the last two years of his life.

Travel video about destination Pienza in Italy.
Surrounded by the magnificent and captivating hills of Tuscan Crete are the rooftops and towers of Pienza, a small town with 2,500 inhabitants. The town's history is indelibly associated with Pope Pius The Second who had a unique and resounding influence on what was also his birthplace. The head of the Roman Catholic Church decided to transform his home village into a perfect town of the Renaissance. The cathedral's interior walls are covered with several beautiful paintings created by numerous master artists of SIENA one of whom was Lorenzo Di Pietro who is also known as 'Il Vecchietta'. In order to intensify the light within the cathedral, and following the wishes of the Pope, the walls were originally bereft of paintings. Despite numerous renovations instigated by Pius The Second, the character of the majority of the town's houses, streets and old alleyways has been retained to the present day. The ,Street of Love", VIA DELL AMORE, or ,The Road of Kisses", contains more than a little romance. Unfortunately, little remains of the old castle of Corsignano that, prior to the Pope's construction programme, was once located in the centre of the town. The death of Pius The Second in August 1464 brought with it the sudden end of Pienza's golden years. Although the Pope's architectural ideals for the town were never fully realized he successfully transformed his home town forever.

Travel video about destination Pienza in Italy.
Surrounded by the magnificent and captivating hills of Tuscan Crete are the rooftops and towers of Pienza, a small town with 2,500 inhabitants. The town's history is indelibly associated with Pope Pius The Second who had a unique and resounding influence on what was also his birthplace. The head of the Roman Catholic Church decided to transform his home village into a perfect town of the Renaissance. The cathedral's interior walls are covered with several beautiful paintings created by numerous master artists of SIENA one of whom was Lorenzo Di Pietro who is also known as 'Il Vecchietta'. In order to intensify the light within the cathedral, and following the wishes of the Pope, the walls were originally bereft of paintings. Despite numerous renovations instigated by Pius The Second, the character of the majority of the town's houses, streets and old alleyways has been retained to the present day. The ,Street of Love", VIA DELL AMORE, or ,The Road of Kisses", contains more than a little romance. Unfortunately, little remains of the old castle of Corsignano that, prior to the Pope's construction programme, was once located in the centre of the town. The death of Pius The Second in August 1464 brought with it the sudden end of Pienza's golden years. Although the Pope's architectural ideals for the town were never fully realized he successfully transformed his home town forever.

The splendid City of Pienza, in Val d'Orcia (Siena - Tuscany), owes its fame and its beauty to the personage that profoundly shaped its history during the Italian Renaissance.
Pope Pius II (Enea Silvio Piccolomini) wished to give life to his dream of the "Ideal City," a place in which man could live in harmony with nature and with himself. Pius's idea was that of realizing a Renaissance city center within the old Medieval borgo of Corsignano, creating the first urban plan in history; he commissioned the master Italian architect Leon Battista Alberti to build it.
Pienza, the city of Pius, finds its insignias and emblems in the Cathedral and in Palazzo Piccolomini.
And in nearby Siena, in its Duomo lies the Piccolomini Library, where the important events of the life of Pius II are narrated with great mastery, through the frescoes of Pinturicchio.

Take the tour of Historic Pienza in Italy -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
In the countryside of Tuscany is a charming and delightful town that changed Italy.
From the small town of Pienza came Enea Silvio Piccolomini, the man who would be pope.
At 53 years of age, Enea became the pope and that event changed Pienza.
He wanted to transform Pienza into a Renaissance town, as a retreat from Rome.
This was the birth of the idea of Renaissance urban planning, which spread throughout Europe.
One of the most spectacular buildings of the new Pienza was the grand Cathedral.
Pienza contains many of the old Renaissance buildings, and is a beautiful part of Tuscany.

I'm Alone Now
Vs 1:
It really hurts to say this, yes it does.
But after a while sweet love just ain't enough.
So many settle for less just because.
Maybe I'm more in love with what it was.
But wat gets so confusing baby, You and Me.
It's been so much confusion lately.
You couldn't see that you were losing me.
Chorus:
Well, I'm alone now, but I ain't lonely.
I'm on my own now, but I ain't the only.
Honestly, I'm fine,
I'll take this time to concentrate on me.
And I got possibility to keep me company.
Vs.2:
Won't you just assume he doesn't care.
To internalize it all just isn't fair.
So I address the problem so that he's aware.
But I still feel all alone even when he's there.
Maybe we can fix it baby, I know we can.
If I make you miss it baby, Then maybe you'll understand.
Chorus
