Stenio Melani
July 13, 2026
Cycling
The Crete Senesi are a striking geographical region located southeast of Siena, world-famous for its unmistakable hilly landscape, rugged and barren, which takes on grey-blue hues similar to a lunar panorama. This territory owes its name and appearance to the mattaione, a clay mixed with rock salt and gypsum that forms the sediment of the Pliocene sea, which covered the entire area millions of years ago.
