Belvedere Between Pienza And San Quirico At 6:01 A.M.

We were told by Brenda Tharp and Jed Manwaring, our tour leaders, that the house at the top of the hill was a belvedere, which
in Italian literally means "beautiful view". It is an architectural term, which refers to any structure located to
take advantage of such a view.

From my gallery “Photographs from a Photo Tour of Tuscany”
