Officially one of Italy’s most beautiful small towns, Montemerano is a feast for the eyes.
The town does not have a list of monuments that you can cross off with the satisfaction that you have seen the town’s heart. Montemerano must be lived. You have to explore the streets and hidden piazzas.
Sit on the benches with the locals who have lived there for a generation and can’t honestly understand what all the fuss is about and get close enough to touch the palazzos with the limestone facades that have survived more than a few centuries.
And you better do it soon because Montemerano is a secret that won’t stay hidden for long.
