I discovered this village almost by chance during my holiday in Tuscany, which will last until Monday. It is the village of Radicofani, a village or rather a jewel to be discovered in the famous Val d'Orcia in beautiful Tuscany.

So yesterday I wanted to take a simple walk through this village to take some photos to make this article to bring here. I think it's the best way to experience first-hand the life that revolves around this village.

Yesterday, I discovered that this village is an important reference point for the Via Francigena, a very important route frequented by many tourists.

I like these villages very much because of the very characteristic streets and houses that take us back in time.

Yesterday there was practically no one around the village, because unfortunately, like so many villages in Tuscany, this one is slowly becoming depopulated.

I also found a bakery that made bread the old-fashioned way with the classic wood-fired oven, something truly unique that is now hard to find around.

I also wanted to visit the village church, a Romanesque church from the thirteenth century, but as usual I always find these churches closed and inaccessible.

One really unique thing is that many times when I travel abroad I miss Italy is the fact that there are these squares, where I imagine in the summer they are full of people chatting and having a drink.

I forgot that this village was recognised in 2004 by unesco as a world heritage site and I hope from my photos you can understand this.

But from my point of view, what you really need to see here and not miss under any circumstances is the Radicofani fortress, a castle that stands on a basalt hill almost 900 metres high overlooking the Borgo.

I hope you found this article very interesting and enjoyed the photos because I tried to take you virtually through this discovery with me.
