It&#8217;s on this central road, today the commercial heart of Montepulciano, that its headquarters are located, built in Baroque style.<\/p>\n<p>The origin of Talosa is traced back to the XII century, linked in particular to the activities of its inhabitants, craftsmen and merchants. It is one of the oldest districts, together with <strong>San Donato<\/strong> and perhaps Poggiolo. The others are more recent, considered villages (i.e. agglomerations outside the city) until 1281 and subsequently became districts. Talosa won 4 editions of Brav\u00eco delle Botti (1979, 2007, 2008 and 2009), the historical re-enactment of the challenge among the 8 contrada, which takes place in the historic center of Montepulciano on the last Sunday of August. Couples of athletes called &#8222;spingitori&#8220; vie for a cloth painted with the iconographic image of the patron saint of the town, that is, <strong>San Giovanni Decollato<\/strong>, rolling 80 kilo barrels along a journey of two kilometers. An event that, in 2011, obtained the recognition of &#8222;Heritage of Italy for tradition&#8220; from the Ministry of Tourism.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2113\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2113\" class=\"wp-image-2113 size-full\" title=\"What to see in Montepulciano\" src=\"https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Contrada-di-Talosa.jpg\" alt=\"History of Montepulciano districts\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Contrada-di-Talosa.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Contrada-di-Talosa-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Contrada-di-Talosa-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Contrada-di-Talosa-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Contrada-di-Talosa-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credits: ContradaDiTalosa, www.facebook.com\/ContradaDiTalosa\/photos\/a.171668273040576\/1045827532291308\/<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>The palaces and museums that are located in Contrada of Talosa<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_2114\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2114\" class=\"wp-image-2114 size-full\" title=\"Montepulciano districts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-Ricci.jpg\" alt=\"Montepulciano recommeneded tour\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-Ricci.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-Ricci-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-Ricci-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-Ricci-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-Ricci-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.borgotrerose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-Ricci-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2114\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credits: sylwia_szczerbetka, www.instagram.com\/p\/B1hjVhKIixy\/<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The contrada of Talosa houses some of the oldest and most famous buildings in Montepulciano, overlooking the elegant Via Ricci.
