Emerging from a ‘dream of affection and a concept of elegance’, Pienza, the paradigmatic city of the Italian Renaissance, continues to be a well-preserved exemplar of a notable architectural undertaking, mandated by Pope Pius II Piccolomini and brought into reality by the accomplished Florentine architect Bernardo Rossellino.
Constructed within a remarkably short period (1459-1462), Pio’s city embodies a unified master blueprint, a reflection of the vision of the esteemed humanist pope who christened it, which incorporates principles of balance and aesthetic excellence that remain evident in the petite urban hub that was previously the Medieval Corsignano.
