Horti Leonini는 16세기 Diomede Leoni의 의지에 따라 만들어진 San Quirico d’Orcia 중심부에 위치한 화려한 르네상스 정원입니다. 완벽한 기하학적 구조와 정밀하게 관리된 회양목 울타리가 특징이며, 대중에게 공개된 희귀한 이탈리아식 정원 사례입니다. 평평한 정형적인 부분과 숲을 향해 올라가는 좀 더 자연적인 구역으로 나뉘어 있어 질서와 자연스러움 사이의 즐거운 대조를 제공합니다. 중앙에는 Cosimo III de’ Medici의 조각상이 있으며, 산책로는 녹음 속에서 평화로운 산책을 즐기도록 초대합니다. 예술, 역사, 풍경의 조화 속에서 편안한 휴식을 취하기에 이상적인 장소입니다.

The Horti Leonini are a magnificent example of a classic Italian garden, laid out around 1580 by Diomede Leoni, after whom it is named. Leoni was a connoisseur of ancient and Renaissance art who, on behalf of the Medici, acquired works of art from Roman circles. Francesco I de' Medici himself gifted him a plot of land in the heart of San Quirico d'Orcia, where the Horti, which still retain their original appearance, would later be established. The gardens are divided into two sections: The lower, diamond-shaped area is enclosed by walls and clipped holm oaks and consists of triangular flowerbeds bordered by a double boxwood hedge. At its center is a sculpture attributed to the Sienese artist Bartolomeo Mazzuoli, depicting Cosimo III de' Medici (1688). In the other section stands the head of Janus Bifrons, a Roman-era sculpture that symbolically marks the boundary between the more natural and the formally designed parts of the garden. A travertine staircase leads to the upper plaza.

The Horti Leonini are a public garden located in the ancient bastions of San Quirico d'Orcia (province of Siena). The Horti have maintained their original structure to this day, constituting a well-preserved example of a classic 16th-century Italian garden and a model of park arrangement revived in subsequent centuries. taken from: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horti_Leonini ═════════════════ 👇 here is the video in 4K 👇 https://youtu.be/MUBZ51VCcuE

The cypress avenue that leads to the Poggio Covili farmhouse is one of the most appreciated and photographed in the entire Val d'Orcia.

Bagno Vignoni is a small medieval village built more than a thousand years ago, in the heart of the Val d'Orcia. Peculiar to this village is the main square, consisting of a thermal pool (where it is not possible to swim) which makes the landscape truly unique. Below the hill on which the village stands there are two other pools with thermal water. The water flows from above the city to the ponds, overflows and flows into the river.

Between the town and the freely accessible part of the thermal baths is the Parco de Mulino, an excavation site of three mills that were probably operated here on the water.
