Renaissance in Tuscany is now up, in its test version -- fittingly, for an endeavour in substantial part stimulated by Pienza's superb renaissance cityscape, on the day commemorating Pienza's patron saint. A patron saint's day which also , in effect, commemorates Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini, Pope Pius II, to whom Pienza owes its great buildings, its name and renown.
Grazie to Aeneas Sylvius! and to the citizens of Pienza today who sustain its vitality.
To those whom come across this site in its early days, comments or suggestions are welcome.
Over time, I aim to build Renaissance in Tuscany as a place of interest, a resource and if possible a forum for some exchange of views, ideas and and knowledge.
So, away we go!
