Free Guide of Tuscany - Val d'Orcia

The Val d'Orcia Park was classified as a Natural Protected Area of Local Interest thanks to the efforts of various communities in the area, determined to protect their heritage and to systematically promote the development of the territory and its economy.
In 1996, the Val d'Orcia Society was formed in order to carry out this project, made up of the municipalities of Pienza, Montalcino, Castiglione d'Orcia, San Quirico d'Orcia and Radicofani as well as the Province of Siena and the Amiata Mountain Association.
The society's aims are multiple but harmonious: to promote eco-sustainable local development projects that fully respect the natural landscape, to increase awareness of the area's ethno-anthropological, cultural and environmental heritage, to encourage the production and marketing of local products ranging from hand-crafted objects to agricultural products, foods and wines by instituting a DOC seal of quality, and to promote various kinds of tourism by providing adequate incentives.
