At the foot of the Cornate mountains, like a miniature nativity scene, lies the charming village of Gerfalco, a perfect subject for photography and painting enthusiasts. Also a hub of mining exploration and controlled during the Middle Ages by the noble Pannochieschi family, it owes its name to the words ger-Falke, from the Medieval German, meaning "hawk-bearer." The road that encircles the village's perimeter suddenly seems lost in time. The church of San Biagio, consecrated in 1323, watches over the village. It was built with an adjoining convent, now a parish house and summer youth center.

The hamlet of Palazzetto is located on a plateau along the Merse valley, and is crossed by the former state road 441 Massetana (now provincial road 441 Massetana), which connects the Siena area with Massa Marittima and the Maremma Grossetana. About 2 km away, in the direction of Siena, are the Abbey of San Galgano and the Chapel of San Galgano a Montesiepi, while about 6 km away, in the direction of Massa Marittima, is the Castle of Miranduolo.

Chiusdino is a wonderful medieval village located in the Merse Valley among the Metalliferous Hills. Its origins date back to the Lombard domination of Tuscany between 568 and 569. The town still retains its medieval appearance and some sections of the double city walls. It is also possible to find medieval houses, including the alleged house of San Galgano (Galgano Guidotti), where the saint is believed to have been born around 1150.

Palla eh!, also called palla 21, is an ancient game played in Tuscany, between the provinces of Siena and Grosseto: in Ciciano in the municipality of Chiusdino, in Piloni and Torniella di Roccastrada, in Scalvaia di Monticiano, in Vetulonia and Tirli, hamlets of Castiglione della Pescaia. It is played in the streets or in the square and takes its name from the cry "eh!" of the “mandatore” when the ball is served or 21 for the final score. The handcrafted ball consists of a lead sphere wrapped in a strip of rubber around which a thick wool thread is wound. The whole thing is closed with a piece of soft, resistant leather, hand-sewn with shoemaker's twine dipped in beeswax. The rules are the same as the rest of the ball family. It is played with two “cacce” and the scoring follows the classic scheme (15, 30, 40, gioco). The matches are divided into sets of 21 points and the match that wins two out of three wins.
