"...it is a vast countryside enlivened by all those beauties that the sublime genius of nature knew how to create. There are mountains that are partly always bare and partly verdant, and large valleys full of gushing springs and deep ditches. There you will find forests of tall Turkey oaks and tall ancient oaks; shady and silent chestnut groves; vast natural meadows. Nearby, white farmhouses lost in the countryside, small towns and villages; far away, among the confusion of growing haze, the towers of Siena and San Gimignano rise, and Volterra appears confused among the greenery, in a lucid serenity." (Dina Ferri 1908 – 1930, poet and writer born in Chiusdino). N.B.
