Comune di San Quirico d’Orcia
There is a town which possesses landscapes that are recognized everywhere.That town is San Quirico d’Orcia. ¶When one is traveling in foreign lands, walking through the streets of cities worldwide, looking through the pages of many a travel magazine or admiring the posters adorning walls in places near and far, there may very well be a scene of a Tuscan landscape to visualize and admire. Often this landscape will come directly from here in or around San Quirico d’Orcia. ¶This is why we say «THIS IS THE ORIGINAL». ¶These are landscapes created by humans for other humans and defined as worldwide patrimonies of humanity by UNESCO. They are landscapes of a magical place, the Val d’Orcia, in which San Quirico is, according to the historian Franco Cardini (an expert on this part of Italy), the true capital. This is not only because of its location at the center of the valley, but above all for its more than one thousand years of history related to the Via Francigena. ¶Therefore, the events that we present here are one with our landscapes, and relate the beauty, the work, the flavour and the sentiments of our land. ¶ They are landscapes of art, music, taste and of the soul and are to be shared by all of humanity! ¶Living here also means having a special relationship with nature and art. It really is valid in this environment what Piero Calamandrei wrote about Tuscany. «…for the fate of a painting or a statue or a dome you suffer as much as for the fate of a close relative or a very dear friend.» It is with this spirit that here we take care of our artistic heritage. A place where well- being reigns supreme, where men’s rhythms still seem to be those of time ago. The thermal waters in Bagno Vignoni where Saint Catherine of Siena and Lorenzo de’ Medici bathed still flow in the square made of water and restore the body and soul. ¶u.s.

Library
The public library in the elegant rooms of Palazzo Chigi has a special appeal. Containing thousands of books and modernly organized (www.sba.unisi.it/home/catalogo), it contains spaces for both reading and meetings. It boasts one section, il Fondo Tagliolini, of over one thousand volumes, that specializes in subjects regarding landscapes and public gardens including many that are historically of great importance. It includes a children’s library with numerous children’s books where, together with the adjacent Teatrino del Palazzo, numerous events for young people are held.
Landscapes in MovementThe twentieth century returns to San Quirico with memories of a tumultuous past and a commemoration of the Mille Miglia auto race, symbol of the industrial development that came to the Val d’Orcia, a land which had struggled with the transition to modernity. In San Quirico, big events were tied to auto sporting legends like Tazio Nuvolari, the Maserati, Osca and Castellarin hurtling through town in their autos as well as heroic cycling greats such as Bartali, Coppi, and Primo Volpi. ¶Contrasting with the sounds of modernity, the event also commemorates the voices from the front during the Great War, voices which can never be forgotten. ¶Moving within our landscapes means experiencing extraordinary emotions. Movement of the body and movement of the mind for those who search for a relationship with oneself , with others and with nature breaking away from the conventions of traditional thinking. ¶

Landscapes of the FrancigenaLa Festa del BarbarossaIn San Quirico d’Orcia, Frederick I of Hohenstaufen (Barbarossa), the future emperor, met the emissaries of the Pope, «after a long and exhausting ride» as he declared while entering through the walls of the city. Upon Frederick’s arrival after his journey along the Via Francigena, the meeting between the empire and the papacy took place. In 1155, Barbarossa, by then the most powerful man of his times, arrived in the village of San Quirico for his coronation as emperor. The meeting between Barbarossa and the cardinals sent by the Pope had resulted in an agreement that guaranteed the capture and delivery to the Church in Rome of the heretic Arnaldo da Brescia, by Barbarossa’s troops. ¶The annual celebration, the Festa del Barbarossa reenacts events from the 12th century with Barbarossa and his cardinals, the civil and religious authorities of San Quirico of the times, the nobility, the population and the soldiers. The four districts of San Quirico (Borgo, Canneti, Castello and Prato) vie for the events big prize, the emperor’s jug, by participating in archery and flag competitions. The town relives the medieval sounds and atmosphere with evenings in the taverns and the town squares. ¶> www.festadelbarbarossa.it

Landscapes of FaithSan Quirico, Vignoni and Bagno Vignoni, with their country churches as well as their religious statues and icons create a sense of spirituality, evoking the presence of the mystical figures who have lived and sojourned in this land. ¶The sweetness and beauty of the Tuscan hills and the sense of peace here bear witness to an intense spirituality evidenced in the vast treasures of divinely inspired art as well as the historic tradition of religious celebrations. ¶Francis of Assisi celebrated his marriage to Lady Poverty in Val d’Orcia as is chronicled in the Legenda aurea by Jacopo da Varagine as well as the Mystic Marriage of St. Francis by the renaissance painter Sassetta, which currently hangs in the Musée Condé in Chantilly. ¶ Caterina da Siena, the fourteenth century theologian sojourned at Rocca di Tentennano and at Bagno Vignoni and immersed herself in the thermal waters of the medieval baths. ¶ The cinema director Andrej Tarkovskij filmed the most touching scenes of his masterpiece, Nostalghia, in Bagno Vignoni where years earlier Franco Zeffirelli had filmed Fratello Sole Sorella Luna. ¶
Landscapes of HistoryWhen history passed through here A cycle of conferences dedicated to places, monu-ments and moments of San Quirico’s long historical past. A small town which is a treasure casket left over the centuries by artists and protagonists of a great History to be remembered and yet still being studied, finding new depths and surprising discoveries. ¶
Nights at the PalaceIn the frescoed halls of the 17th century Palazzo Chigi night falls full of mystery and charm. ¶Down the stairs and along the corridors the palace rediscovers its history and ancient origins. ¶And then, when you’re almost falling asleep they say that you just might bump into the ghost of the Cardinal. ¶

Landscapes of Well-BeingAlong the Francigena, south of the town of San Quirico you can find Bagno Vignoni, a spa famous all over the world for its square created by water. ¶In the Middle Ages Bagno Vignoni was well known and distinguished people such as Saint Catherine and Lorenzo de’Medici came to stay. ¶For many years great film directors have chosen it as an enchanting set for their films. Andrei Tarkovskij shot here memorable scenes of his masterpiece Nostalghia. In the Piazza delle Sorgenti, (the square of the springs) Carlo Verdone filmed a scene of Al Lupo al Lupo and more recently views of great charm appeared in the fortunate TV series about the Medici family. ¶Overlooking the Val d’Orcia there are the Roman basins and the Park of the Mills with its medieval remains. Its splendid isolation makes it a real oasis of peace and quiet. ¶The Landscapes of Well-Being will accompany the springtime awakening of the waters «sacred to the nymphs» with a series of initiatives which go from conferences to book presentations, from music to hiking along the trails of the Val d’Orcia, contemporary art and convivial moments. ¶
