Via Ricci
Montepulciano
　　From the central Piazza Grande, Via Ricci runs downhill past Palazzo Ricci, now home to the European Academy for Music and Performing Arts. The street terminates in Piazza San Francesco, where you can admire more panoramic views of the Val di Chiana. ...
Museo Civico & Pinacoteca Crociani
Montepulciano
　　It was a curatorial dream come true: in 2011 a painting in the collection of this modest art gallery was attributed to Caravaggio. The work, Portrait of a Man, is thought to portray Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the artist's patron. It’s now accompanied by a touch-screen interpretation that allows you to...
Il Corso
Montepulciano
　　Montepulciano's main street – called in stages Via di Gracciano, Via di Voltaia, Via dell'Opio and Via Poliziano – climbs up the eastern ridge of the town from Porta al Prato and loops to meet Via di Collazzi on the western ridge. To reach the centre of town (Piazza Grande),...
Piazza Grande
Montepulciano
　　Elegant Piazza Grande is the town's highest point and main meeting place. If you think it looks familiar, it might be because it featured in New Moon, the second movie in the Twilight series based on Stephenie Meyer's vampire novels. They shot the main crowd scene here, despite the book...

Palazzo Comunale
Montepulciano
　　Built in the 14th century in Gothic style and remodelled in the 15th century by Michelozzo, the Palazzo Comunale still functions as Montepulciano's town hall. Head up the 67 narrow stairs to the tower to enjoy extraordinary views – you'll see as far as Pienza, Montalcino and even, on a...
Chiesa di San Biagio
Montepulciano
　　Designed by Antonio da Sangallo (Sangallo il Vecchio) and constructed in the late-16th century, this splendid Renaissance church in the valley below the upper town has a distinctive central dome and pyramid-topped bell tower. The church is dedicated to San Biagio (St Blaise), the Armenian-born martyred patron saint of wool...
Palazzo Ricci
Montepulciano
　　Built for Cardinal Giovanni Maria Ricci in the 16th century, this handsome palazzo has a rear loggia with a stunning view of the countryside. Home to many generations of the Ricci family over the centuries, it's now owned by the municipality and hosts the the European Academy for Music and...
