Sorano

Much like the village of Pitigliano, Sorano is also spread over a tuff rock cliff and surrounded by impressive valleys, which are lined with the many watercourses of the area. The medieval town of Sorano is dominated by the imposing Orsini fortress and its streets are a fabulous maze of narrow alleys in which you could easy get lost and find incredible hidden treasures including ancient monuments, grand buildings and splendid churches. Traces of the Etruscan civilization can be found throughout the area and after you have visited the shops, alleys and trattorias of Sorano, you can immerse yourself in the history of this civilisation in the ancient vie cave streets and many necropolis which surround the village. The park of San Rocco, right across the main valley and within walking distance from the town, is the ideal place to absorb yourself in a contemplation of the landscape of this splendid village.
