Montefioralle

Our appartment wasn't far from here. Such a cozy little village. We loved this more than Montepulciano and decided not to make the 2 hour drive to San Gimignano.

A narrow and very steep road leads from Greve up to the medieval village of Montefioralle, the ancestral home of Amerigo Vespucci (1415-1512). An explorer, navigator and cartographer who made two early voyages to America following the route charted by Columbus.
