The light was beautiful as we drove back to San Quirico. The Val d'Orcia landscape changes seasonally, from the lush greens of spring, to the brown hues of fall when the summer wheat has been harvested and the heavy clay soils have been plowed in preparation for planting the winter wheat crop. The area has a special designation as the "Parco artistico, naturale e culturale della Val d'Orcia," with the goal of preserving the extraordinary artistic and natural heritage of the five municipalities which constitute it: Castiglione d'Orcia, Montalcino, San Quirico d'Orcia, Radicofani and Pienza.
