val orcia excursion

the Orcia Valley turns up as a vast clayey offshoot which still maintains heaps of tufa with golden and soft sandstone, running non stop towards Mount Amiata and Cetona. The clay downs which once frightened the travellers along the Roman Road maintain their ancient beauty, but the relentess encroachment of modernity has contributed to the modification of the appearance of the country in several areas. That is why the task of the inhabitants of the valleis to defend their land today which as any other great patrimony of nature, has to be protected from extinction. It is the world of the ěCreteî the sweetest Sienese hills, rising up one ofter the other like long waves of an ocean, crowned with cottages and cut by long rows of cypress trees flanking the country roads.
