Panorama

Campagnatico is a typical Medieval town, both in its urban structure and in its strategic position. It stands on a rise, planted with olive trees, that drops off sharply to the east over the Ombrone Valley. The ancient castle belonging to the Aldobrandeschi family from Sovana was mentioned in Canto XI of Dante's Purgatory.

Campagnatico

The entire area is abundant in Mediterranean scrub and the rolling hills are planted with vineyards and olive groves that yield excellent wine and oil.

Campagnatico by night

Today Campagnatico is the principal town of a wide area that includes not only the charming Medieval town of Montorsaio, but numerous villages that keep local traditions alive by staging fairs, pageants and celebrations for their patron saints that offer the tourist a chance to partake in the spirit of these hospitable and friendly people.

Streets of Campagnatico

The traditional civil and religious celebrations in honour of Maria Santissima delle Grazie are held in Campagnatico during the first half of September. During these festivities, the four town districts challenge one another in the "Palio dei Ciuchi".
