Highlights
- Torre del Pulcinella - The legend of the Pulcinella Tower in Montepulciano has it that this was brought here by a bishop of Neapolitan origins, but since there was no figure of this type in the history of the village, more likely it was a priest. In 1524, in fact, a statue inspired by the “Mangia” of Siena was placed on the clock tower of Montepulciano with the task of marking the hours, but due to the deterioration suffered by the same, already in 1680 there was a first restoration and, on that occasion, presumably on the proposal of the priest (or in any case of a benefactor) of Naples, the automaton was covered with the colors of Pulcinella. According to some, however, this character was chosen as a tribute to the Theater.

Fantastic tour - Our walking tour of Montepulciano was fantastic. Our tour guide, Patrizia, was amazing. Her knowledge of, and love for, Montepulciano were clearly evident and her passion easily transferred to us. Montepulciano is a fascinating, beautiful town with so much history and the warmest, most welcoming people. Taking a tour is essentially to learn about this wonderful place. I highly recommend this tour for everyone who visits.
