Our second stop is Castiglione d’Orcia, a small town of 2500 residents on a top of a mountain which was mentioned as a settlement for the first time in 714. The town lost it’s independence to the Republic of Sienna in the 14 century and became part of united Italy only in 1861.  We did not get to see a lot of this town because it was covered in think cloud and whatever the views might have been were no doubt spectacular, just not today.
