ここ、きれいだね、とてもきれい

カステルヌオーヴォ・ベラルデンガ市に位置する古いアイオラ城は、シエナとフィレンツェの戦争時代にルーツを持つキャンティ・クラシコ 🍷 の真珠です。かつては防御のための要塞でしたが、今日では素晴らしいワイン生産地となっています。 元の様式は中世の構造で、力強い控え壁と、17世紀に洗練された領主の邸宅に改造された跳ね橋の痕跡が今も残っています。

A beautiful village in the Chianti hills

Porta Romana is one of the ancient gates in the walls of Siena, located on the route of the ancient Via Cassia. It was built in 1327 - 1328 by Agnolo di Ventura and Agostino di Giovanni, equipped with battlements and a defensive wall. In 1417, Taddeo di Bartolo was commissioned to paint the fresco that was to adorn it with a depiction of the Virgin, like the other city gates, to implore divine protection for the city. In 1978, the frescoes, due to advanced deterioration, were detached and transferred to the Basilica of San Francesco. However, there is a Roman inscription at the Porta Romana!The inscription was written on a travertine tablet and, based on its graphic characters and content, can be dated to the Augustan period (27 BC – 0) saying "Silvanus sacr(um) / C. Victricius / Memor VIvir / [a] ugustalis posuit" = Caio Victricio Memore Seviro augustale dedicated a small temple to Silvanus.

In Siena, as we know, your eye always falls there, on the shell-shaped Campo or the striped marble of the Duomo. And rightly so. But then there are those places that speak to you in a different voice, more raspy and sincere. Porta Romana is one of them. Let's be clear: this isn't a small archway placed there for show. This is a beast of brick and stone, a fortress planted to the south to tell those arriving from Rome: "Be careful, you're entering Siena." It's massive, imposing, it makes you feel small and immediately reminds you that this city was once a serious thing, a power that had to be defended. It has none of the frills of other monuments; it gets straight to the point, and for me, its charm begins right there.

Vagliagli is a hamlet in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the province of Siena. An ancient 13th-century village, it is located at 511 meters above sea level, along the provincial road leading to Radda in Chianti.

Beautiful view of the valley

It is definitely worth a stop and a coffee. There is a public fountain at the end of the village.
