Montepulciano
Montepulciano is Tuscany's highest hilltop town, built along a
narrow limestone ridge at 1,950ft (605m) above sea level. Sheltered
within the town's fortified walls are charming streets packed with
Renaissance-style palaces and churches. Its most celebrated
achievement is its Vino Nobile wines. Also of interest is the
Madonna di San Biagio, a delightful pilgrimage church on the
outskirts of the town. For a dip into Etruscan reliefs and funerary
urns collected by Pietro Bucelli, visit his Palazzo on Via di
Gracciano del Corso 73. For splendid views, take a stroll to the
Palazzo Communale and climb the tower.

Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
Opening Times
Palazzo Communale's tower is open from 9am to 2pm,
Monday to Saturday.
