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.
