Lake Bolsena, located between Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany, is the largest volcanic lake in Europe. A true natural wonder, thanks to its breathtaking landscapes, clear waters, quiet beaches, and villages rich in history and culture, this lake is an ideal destination for those who love tranquility, culture, and nature.

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.

Tuscan towns seem to divide into 2 categories, those on the "tourist trail" and those not. For some reason Radicofani seems to be "not", even though it is full of present-day charm and (often uncharging) history. It is a stiff climb to get to from the floor of Val d'Orcia, even when cycling while the walking effort is truly epic, but worth it! We stayed in an utterly charming tiny cottage, Casa del Ciliego, and ate in one of the numerous small restaurants - plenty were open, even on a quietist Sun evening. Stocked up in the amazing tiny grocery, hidden away in the ancient 'ghetto' part of the town. You can also buy enough to make a full meal quite easily here.

Interesting, but popular (i.e. crowded and busy) small Tuscan hill town. The walled garden is recommended for the interesting layout, and the statue of Lorenzo the Magnificent. Near the top of the steep descent out of town in the eventual direction of Radicofani, a large Restaurant/cafe/deli is to be found. Good place to have a coffee/breakfast, and to stock up on takeaway pizza for the journey.

Beautiful place where you can have lunch even on the lake

Built between 1527 and 1535 by order of Pope Clement VII to defend the city from potential attackers after the dramatic experience of the sack of Rome, it was built by digging into the tuff of the plateau on which Orvieto stands, it is 54 meters deep and is a work of high hydraulic engineering. Worth a visit!

Once you reach the top of the Orvieto cliff, it is nice to enjoy the spectacle of the countryside surrounding the city, full of suggestive views that also make you go uphill, often quite challenging.

The Bolsena Lake Viewpoint in San Lorenzo Nuovo offers a breathtaking panorama of the lake and surrounding landscapes. Lake Bolsena, the fifth largest lake in Italy and the largest lake of volcanic origin in Europe, is a beautiful sight to behold. From the viewpoint, visitors can enjoy the almost circular lake surrounded by the Monti Volsini, a low mountain range.

If Orvieto is splendid, the Duomo is a precious stone set in its historic center. The design is Romanesque, then embellished with many elements in Gothic style. The square is wonderful. You can't not come here!

The Porta Romana, also known as Porta Nuova, is one of the gates in the medieval walls of Siena. The gate was built in 1327-1328. It has a complex structure with two separate portals separated by a small courtyard, and the inner gate is higher than the outer one. The large arches are covered with travertine marble. In 1417, Taddeo di Bartolo was commissioned to paint the Madonna icon on the inner portal, dedicated to the protection of the city. The painting was further updated by Sassetta and later Sano di Pietro who completed it in 1466.
