What To Expect
Torre del Pulcinella
The legend of the Pulcinella Tower in Montepulciano has it that this was brought here by a bishop of Neapolitan origins, but since there was no figure of this type in the history of the village, more likely it was a priest. In 1524, in fact, a statue inspired by the "Mangia" of Siena was placed on the clock tower of Montepulciano with the task of marking the hours, but due to the deterioration suffered by the same, already in 1680 there was a first restoration and, on that occasion, presumably on the proposal of the priest (or in any case of a benefactor) of Naples, the automaton was covered with the colors of Pulcinella. According to some, however, this character was chosen as a tribute to the Theater.
Montepulciano
Next to the Clock Tower is the white facade of the church of Sant’Agostino, of which the tower is part. Built earlier than this (in 1285), the church was renovated by Michelozzo himself in the sixteenth century and combines the neoclassical style of the Renaissance with the Gothic of the Middle Ages. Its front staircase has become, over time, a meeting point for many residents of Montepulciano.

5.00We cannot recommend this guide more highly. She was enthusiastic about Montepulciano and really followed our lead on what we were interested in. She is warm and knows the city well, giving us a great sense of what it would be like to be there. She helped us to find a great lunch spot after the tour, too. Excellent guide and perfect English skills as well.

5.00Patrizia was an amazing guide. Her English is excellent and she is very informative and so accommodating. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting to her about the Medicis and the Borgias. She made our 2 hour private walking tour an absolute joy and delight. She also took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. I would highly recommend this tour. Digby Jones.

5.00Our walking tour of Montepulciano was fantastic. Our tour guide, Patrizia, was amazing. Her knowledge of, and love for, Montepulciano were clearly evident and her passion easily transferred to us. Montepulciano is a fascinating, beautiful town with so much history and the warmest, most welcoming people. Taking a tour is essentially to learn about this wonderful place. I highly recommend this tour for everyone who visits.
