Vespatour 2006 Part 10: from Monteriggioni to Montieri
Albegor
My solo Vespatour of the last summer continued from Florence towards southern Tuscany.
I slept just one night at the Ostello del Chianti in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa and I enjoyed it a lot thanks to the people I met there: the kind Silvia, the hostel’s manager and Alessio, a motobiker from Torino.
Valentina, the girl I met in Florence at Econoetica’s offices, recommended me to visit the mysterious Monteriggioni stronghold and to search for the even more mysterious cats without tail living there.
So I did and in the same evening on August 15 I managed to visit also San Gimignano, the 100 towers town.
The following day was anything but less intensive. Following the recommendation by Elisa, a friend from Como trainer at Palestra 100, I visited the San Galgano’s Abbey and I saw the mythic sword inside the rock! ![]()
Then I reached the La Meridiana agritourism in Montieri in the Maremma area to bring Elisa’s greetings to Mrs. Mirella, the manager of the agritourism.
In Palazzetto, along the road to Siena to get to see the Palio I met by chance Alberto, Angelo e Claudio, the three great Vespa-riders from Mantua and we finished the launch together.
Here you have the 47 photos of the “authentically Tuscan” tenth gallery of my Vespatour!
