Little is said about this place, perhaps because it is surrounded by many famous places, thus keeping the beauty of this corner of the region hidden. One of the most evocative areas of Upper Lazio is La Tuscia, the beating heart of central Italy. Surrounded by breathtaking countryside with picture postcard landscapes, where ancient villages and castles sit on the verdant hills dotted with vineyards, woods and farmhouses, creating an unforgettable mosaic of colours and a unique landscape, where time seems to have stopped. The Tuscia area today includes more or less the entire province of Viterbo and preserves true naturalistic and artistic treasures. To discover Tuscia is to discover the history of Italy itself and to reveal its roots, the ancient land of the Etruscans, whose traces are still clearly visible in the many archaeological sites that dot its territories and today have become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For centuries it has been an important crossroads due to its strategic position, just a stone's throw from Rome, it has seen princes, kings, aristocrats and generals pass through accompanied by great artists and architects who have left behind authentic masterpieces. Thanks to the numerous thermal springs, it became a holiday resort for the Romans and reached its maximum splendor in 1207 when Viterbo was elected City of the Popes, Tuscia is a corner of Italy to be discovered at a slow pace, getting lost among its thousand beauties.

The area features fortified hilltop towns along the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route to Rome. Under Siena's influence, artists' depictions of the 'perfect landscape' in frescoes inspired actual environmental modifications. The region showcases extraordinary diversity with its patchwork of fields, vineyards, and distinctive clay hills forming characteristic gullies and rounded reliefs. The extinct volcanoes of Radicofani and Monte Amiata have enriched the soil, whilst thermal springs dot the landscape. The iconic cypress trees create visual harmony, standing as natural landmarks that have become synonymous with the Tuscan countryside. Celle sul Rigo Situated in the captivating Val d'Orcia, Celle sul Rigo serves as a remarkable haven where historic stone streets, spectacular views, and time-honoured traditions weave together to create an indelible experience. This charming settlement, famous for its traditional Sagra dei Pici celebration, captures the spirit of genuine flavours and warm hospitality, set against the backdrop of rolling Tuscan hills and the commanding presence of Monte Amiata. In close proximity, San Casciano dei Bagni enhances the region's charm with its ancient thermal waters, valued since Roman times, and significant Etruscan discoveries that have revolutionised our knowledge of classical antiquity. Here, curative springs and archaeological wonders combine to create a mesmerising, timeless atmosphere. Celle sul Rigo, with its Etruscan roots, has maintained a crucial strategic position overlooking the Val di Paglia and routes to Rome, specifically along the Via Francigena between the Novella and Torricella inns. Initially under the Visconti di Campiglia domain, the "Castrum de Cellis" was positioned between Siena and Orvieto. The Salimbeni family acquired it in the late 14th century before it became part of Siena in 1418. During the Grand Duchy of Tuscany era, Celle thrived as an agricultural hub, where local nobility built sophisticated mansions and a fortress commanding the valleys. A significant landslide in the late 18th century demolished the fortress and portions of the village. Currently, the surviving Tower surveys a varied landscape from Mount Cetona to Mount Amiata, safeguarding its historical legacy and customs. Living in these surroundings means embracing a way of life rich in craftsmanship, history, and authentic character—where every instant connects past with present.
