Where we areBettona
The town of Bettona can boast ancient Etruscan origins, insofar as its foundation is dated at around the 8th and 7th centuries B.C. Described as the "Etruscan Balcony" due to the magnificent view of the valley below, the town still preserves its characteristics of a "walled-city" with structures from the Etruscan times and the Middle Ages. The historical centre is harmoniously balanced with buildings from the 1300s and the 1500s such as the Palazzo Comunale and the Palazzo del Podestà. Overlooking the main piazza is the chiesa and collegiata of S. Maria Maggiore restored in 1600s. Near the piazza is the small chiesa of the Oratorio of S. Andrea where a fresco by the School of Giotto (1394) was discovered, the chiesa of S. Crispolto, patron saint of Bettona (XIII cent.) and the chiesa dell'ex convento of S. Antonio Abate.
Torgiano
The symbol of the town, the Torre di Guardia (or Baglioni), built in 1274, is the only remaining structure of the ancient defence fortification and still retains its original appearence. The church of S. Maria nel Castello and the church of the Madonna dell'olivello are among the religious building of particular interest. Within the city walls, the Palazzo Graziani-Baglioni (1696) is one of the main buildings of the Baroque period. The Museo del Vino in this building has a vast collection of ancient and modern objects connected with wine making, printed books, manuscripts and antique engravings on enological topics. Viticulture has become important to this area in the last few years and the production of quality wine has increased, thus making the name Torgiano internationally well- known.
