A small Tuscan town, the destiny of Pienza was to be modified in the 15th century on the day when its most illustrious representative, Pope Pius II, decided to make it an "ideal city" and asked Bernardo Rosselino to rebuild it in the Renaissance style, just becoming popular. Around Piazza Pio II, the Piccolomini and Borgia palaces and the cathedral are a testimony to this extraordinary vision which has made its historic centre one of the finest in the world.
