Thank you to all my supporters on Patreon, RU-vid Members and for those who have made donations throughout 2021! I also want to thank everyone who has commented on the videos. It is really great to know that you are enjoying the walks. Happy New Year!
Here you really enter history. A medieval town, enclosed with walls, as is usually seen only in history books. Thank you for introducing these pearls of our beautiful Italy. I am Italian and have also been to Tuscany, but I did not know this medieval town. PS: and thanks also for the precious and interesting historical information ! 👍
Forse il Borgo medievale fortificato meglio conservato e più affascinante d'Italia.. Certamente una altra perla meravigliosa nella campagna senese. TOSCANA FELIX...
As a travel blogger, I always look to travel news for guidance, wanderlust, and inspiration. For years, I’ve been collecting details about travel while traveling the world, and always enjoy reflecting on them in my day-to-day life. Everyone has a different lens through which they view the world, which is why it’s important to heed the advice and insight of others. Visiting such destinations like yours make me feel more like an explorer, one of the many joys of traveling......so thank you!!!!!
You do THE BEST walking tours! I love them. I learn history as well as enjoy myself looking at beautiful Italy and the sounds. Other walk tours include background music that for me, spoils it. (Florence, Venice boat tour and Lucca are my favourites) THANK YOU!! 💖🙋⭐
Before covid I said something like jeez we need online tours of places. Then BANG! They were a thing!! My husband and I love watching everything you post. Our favorite channel! Thank you for your hard work!!
Most of these old walls were torn down, as they became obsolete. Big cannon, developed in the 1500s could knock down these walls. The walls of Constantinople were knocked down in 1543 by the big cannon firing one foot wide stone cannon balls. Most of the stone walls, now useless, were torn down and the stone was used for other building projects. It's great that a few survived.
Very nice place and historic scenery. Thanks for sharing my dear friend. Your Monteriggioni walking tour is so interesting. Big liked. Wishing you a nice Sunday...👍👍
You should go to the Marche Region and visit Gradara, Ascoli Piceno, and Urbino. At least. And in the Veneto region you should go to Montagnana, Soave, Cittadella, Vicenza, Padova and many other beutiful ciries.
Happy new year, hope you get to go on many more walks, and show us what beautiful places there are. Thank you, I would never get to see them myself in person, so this is the next best thing. X
I keep coming back to this town as a potential place to visit. We're staying in Positano when we do visit in a couple of years, but we are also visiting Civita di Bagnoregio for 4 nights, and this is only a couple hours from there from what I see on Google maps. I love the image of a walled city that I don't think I've seen in your other walks, unless you have and I've just forgotten.
Hey Ken, if you have the time, there are several great towns that are real close in that area near Monteriggioni. It's worth seeing, but it doesn't take a lot of time to walk around. It would probably be the most interesting to go in the evening, walk around, and then have dinner in the piazza. That is when there is the most going on. I have plenty of other walled cities, but they are much larger and you can't see the whole wall in one shot like this. I keep hearing about this trip your going to take....now it's going to be in a couple of years? Let's go..get on over here! :)
Me encanta éste canal, por el bien que se hace la filmación y también por dar explicaciones en castellano de lo que sé va mostrando. Si fuese verbal mejor que leído, por no perder la atención de lo que se va viendo. Muchas gracias por enseñar aquello que de no ser por el sistema virtual sería casi imposible de poder disfrutar de tantas cosas bellas y interesantes.👍👍👍👍
Happy New Year Isaac, we made it to 2022..and Congratulations 🎊 on 400 k subscribers, your hard work has paid off, my wife loves your videos and is currently watching all your old videos of Italy..we are both your biggest fans ..your walks have been a source of immense joy to us especially during the pandemic..Ciao ..Dave_nixon..from Toronto.
Glad you enjoyed it. :) I just went there again a couple weeks ago with my family. We stayed in Siena and then explored several small towns in the area that they had never been to.
Hey, thanks. Yeah, I need to go back and re-write that caption. 10k people live in that entire municipality (city limits), which extends out into the hills.
Ottimo video, amico. Thanks for making this video, now I can see how inside the walled town is. But what I wonder is how such a small town can held a population almost 10000 people?
The vlogger is using his Time Machine. We be back in August in an Eye-talian city with a tongue twisting name. This machine has "reverse" only. No forward. Oh well. As the Saracens pirates quipped, "this be a rich 'hood'. Gone be an extra Christmas coming our way, .., this year Cuz we be leaving here loaded with everything they own. Including the kitchen sink. And the bishop's gold comb and diamond studded walking stick."
This is an ancient gated community. Just like the current ones everywhere. They even charge you for walking along the walls. There's a ramshackle old hut, make that shack masquerading as a ticket office. 'Plunk yer Liras, er...Euros on this here counter, please. Sorry, no change.' Ooops! Forgot! Please bring your own oxygen cannisters. They might yet start charging you for the air you breath there. Bet Dante would have consigned this Montefarrigonio to the 7th. Circle of the 'Inferno'.
