Sansepolcro: Montedoglio 1
Diga di Montedoglio spans the Tiber in eastern Tuscany, creating a broad reservoir that has made this upland valley an important water-resource landscape. Its shores lie near Sansepolcro, close to the meeting zone of Tuscany, Umbria and the Marche, amid the wooded ridges of the upper Tiber valley. The impounded water supports irrigation and supply needs in the surrounding area. Sansepolcro is associated with the Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca, who was born here; its Museo Civico holds both his Resurrection and Madonna della Misericordia. The contrast of engineered water and folded Apennine foothills defines this corner of Tuscany.

Tuscany occupies a central belt between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea in Italy. Near these coordinates, the undulating Val d’Elsa extends between Florence and Siena, its farmland marked by vineyards, olive groves and historic market towns. The Elsa flows into the Arno, the river that crosses Florence before reaching the coast. Siena’s medieval centre is centred on the Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race takes place twice each summer. Across Tuscany, olive oil, wine and seasonal cooking remain central to local identity, while its cities hold exceptional Renaissance art and architecture.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
