It is difficult to get to Mount Amiata and not be amazed by its grandeur. Already from the curves that follow one another along the access roads, the ancient volcano 1734 meters high shows itself in all its original nobility. Nature colours its sinuous sides from season to season, offering a spectacular view. From the Paleozoic-Quaternary to today, the Sacred Mountain – as the Etruscans defined it – proudly shows how trachyte rocks and mountain vegetation have been able to meet and coexist over the centuries. For centuries, woods, olive groves, vineyards, chestnut groves and fruit trees have been the elderly guardians of the passing of time that leaves its traces in the narrow and delightful streets that characterize the mountain villages and in the stories of women and men who have lived in this land.<\/h3>\n
