All the unmissable summer events in Montepulciano (and surroundings)


19 Juni 2019

The most renowned is certainly the Bravio delle Botti, the challenge between the eight districts of Montepulciano of which we have already spoken, and which repeats every year with a series of events in the week between 17th and 25th August, the race day. But there are many events not to be missed, in the summer, in Montepulciano, and throughout the Val d’Orcia.

A summer of musical events in Val d’Orcia

Don’t miss history, art and tradition in Montepulciano

Leonardo in val di Chiana

A very important event of this summer 2019 is certainly the exhibition dedicated to “Leonardo in Val di Chiana. The design of the territory and the science of water“. The work of the Maestro da Vinci as a cartographer will be hosted inside the Fortezza di Montepulciano until September 8th with some of the maps he made, including the Val di Chiana map dating back to 1502-1503, when Leonardo was at the service of Cesare Borgia.

Among the organizers of this special exhibition is the Cantiere Internazionale dell’Arte which reaches its 44th edition with a program of unmissable events in the most beautiful places of Montepulciano from 12th to 28th July. The theme Love Passion Madness that inspired the festival this year will be told to the public with symphonic concerts, opera, musicals, readings, musical theater, dance, and cinema.
