On one side the Valley of Orcia, with its harsh
beauty. On the other side, turning your eyes, the Valley
of Chiana. Chianciano is there, high,
on the crest dividing the two valleys; a place where the sight
can take a rest, become light, posing on the hills surrounding
the town. |
| Known
since ancient times for the curative properties of its thermal
waters, still attracting thousands of visitors,
it is a magic place, thanks to the combination of entertainment
possibilities, parks and hotels. Many
are those who find the right tranquillity in the "green
belt" embracing the holidays centre, helped by the
long walks in the shade of trees. |

In 1883 Guy de Maupassant wrote Mont
Oriol, the pre-eminently "thermal novel".
One of the characters says: "Here one could make a fortune.
The town is admirable, the climate excellent; just one worry:
will the water be enough for a big establishment?". |
