The square where to have a break

The Borgo di Roccalbegna, nestled between the gorges of the Albegna river is a jewel suspended between the Maremma and the Amiata. The historic center, founded at the end of the 19th century, contains some important works of art dating back to the Sienese domination of the late Middle Ages. From a landscape point of view, the stone (going up the hill next to the bar) and the Sienese formwork are worth a visit. Exploring the surroundings you can make many routes on foot or by bicycle. The Bosco Ricconi and Pescinello nature reserves and the Monte Labbro wildlife park are worth a visit.

An amazing ascent to the top of the highest peak in southern Tuacany, Monte Amiata

Abbadia San Salvatore is a municipality of 6,277 inhabitants in the province of Siena in Tuscany. Abbadia San Salvatore has, due to its altitude and proximity to Mount Amiata, a cold climate in winter and quite mild in summer. In winter temperatures drop below zero thanks to the cold winds coming from Mount Amiata which overlooks the town. The summers, however, are always refreshed by the influence of the mountains; with rain and snow at high altitudes. History has reserved for this location phases of temporal prestige linked to the monastery of the same name, first Benedictine and then Cistercian, which in feudal times exercised significant power in large territories located on the eastern and western sides of the Amiata. The abbey had mixed fortunes, also due to the frequent clashes both with the powerful Aldobrandeschi family of Santa Fiora, and with the Orsini and in general with the allies of the emperors, especially when the latter maintained conflicting relations with the Papacy of Rome; it was finally suppressed in 1782. A notable turning point occurred only at the beginning of the 20th century when the mining of cinnabar and its refining into mercury began throughout the area. The German engineer Federico Hamman, after whom the town named the road that leads from the mines to the town centre, discovered the mercury deposit at the end of the 19th century: Abbadia San Salvatore quickly became a rich mining and industrial centre, seeing a sudden improvement in quality of life of the inhabitants who, starting from 1900, already had electricity, telephone and water service. In the seventies, mercury mines saw an inexorable slow decline, both due to international competition but above all due to the increasingly scarce and reduced application of the mineral on an industrial level, thus making its extraction less and less convenient. This led the mining company (which at the time employed the majority of the population) to definitively close down, thus putting an end to the industrial parenthesis of Abbadia San Salvatore, which has been experiencing a slow and constant demographic decline since then. With the closure of the mines, a slow but continuous development of tourism began for the town, transforming itself into one of the most receptive centers of Monte Amiata. https://www.visittuscany.com/it/idee/abbadia-san-salvatore-5 -things-to-do-in-the-village-sullamiata/

Tough climb to the top of the highest peak in Tuscany. There appears to be a cafe open most of the year for refreshments, but check before you make the climb to be sure.

Back in the hills! At about 550 meters altitude lies this community, which is especially known for its red wine Morellino di Scansano. And so probably the question would be clarified why I think this place for an outstanding milestone;)
