Among the picturesque hills of arable fields and meadows, changing their colors several times a year, there is the pearl of Tuscany – Pienza. This is a magical and unique place for a film location. It has got an unlimited potential, which is used in film and advertising screenplays, TV productions and photo sessions. This place is really delightful. It is on the ‘must have’ list of every professional photographer or filmmaker. In addition to the unique and wonderful views of the surrounding Val d’Orcia, this tiny town provides amazing experience and fantastic film frames. At every step, the walls of the town hide small alleys smelling of flowers, aromatic wine and sheep’s cheese. Here you can see ubiquitous roses growing up the old walls of the buildings, seniors sitting on chairs in front of their houses and lazy cats basking in the sun. All this makes you leave this unique place and community with longing and sadness. The areas here are highlands. The buildings have been preserved almost as in the Renaissance. Because of the location in the valley and due to large temperature differences, early mornings in the spring and autumn seasons often have fog here, which contribute to the use of Pienza in many scenarios. Compared to other Tuscan towns, Pienza is distinguished by its unusual order. Streets, squares and buildings go together perfectly and harmonize with each other, creating this charming place unique. Pienza is located halfway between Montepulciano and San Quirico val d’Orcia. These surroundings were chosen as the film location in the production of some scenes of the film ‘Gladiator’, directed by Ridley Scott, where Russell Crowe plays the main role. We present the exact location of these scenes in another material that you will find on our website.
