Cypress Alley Poggio Covili (explored)

            The landscape of Val d'Orcia (Orcia Valley) is located in the southern part of the province of Siena in Tuscany. The name is derived from the Orcia River; the valley has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.
The valley is part of the agricultural hinterland of Siena, which was remodeled and developed when it was settled by the city-state in the 14th and 15th centuries to reflect the idealized model of good government and to create an aesthetically pleasing landscape.

The striking aesthetics of the landscape, with its flat plains from which rise almost conical hills, inspired many artists. During the Renaissance, the area provided numerous motifs for their landscape paintings, especially for the artists of the School of Siena. Their paintings deal with the beauty of agriculturally cultivated areas and the harmony between man and nature. 

Die Landschaft des Val d’Orcia (Orciatal) liegt im südlichen Teil der Provinz Siena in der Toskana. Der Name ist vom Fluss Orcia abgeleitet; das Tal  gehört seit 2004 zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO.
Das Tal ist Teil des landwirtschaftlichen Hinterlandes von Siena, welches bei seiner Besiedlung durch den Stadtstaat im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert umgestaltet und entwickelt wurde, um das idealisierte Modell einer guten Regierung widerzuspiegeln und ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Landschaftsbild zu erzeugen.

Die auffällige Ästhetik der Landschaft mit ihren flachen Ebenen, aus denen sich fast schon kegelförmige Hügel erheben, inspirierte viele Künstler. In der Renaissance lieferte die Gegend insbesondere den Künstlern der Schule von Siena zahlreiche Motive für ihre Landschaftsbilder. Ihre Gemälde befassen sich mit der Schönheit landwirtschaftlich bewirtschafteter Gegenden und der Harmonie von Mensch und Natur.
