SENTIERO DEL VINSANTO

According to documents, the path follows the ancient medieval route between the two castles of Torrita and Montefollonico, the last bastions of the Republic of Siena against Montepulciano, an ally of Florence. The path connects the Follonica Gate (Porta di Follonica) of Montefollonico to the Torrita di Siena camper area. Along the path there are five rest areas with benches, directions for the route and historical notes about Torrita di Siena, Montefollonico, the Abbey of Saint Mary of Follonica (Abbazia de Santa Maria de Follonica), and the life of Ghino di Tacco (a real-life Robin Hood figure from Torrita).
