Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

The town of Montalcino contains many reminders of medieval times including the impressive 14th-century castle, the ancient Basilica, the San Giovanni tower and a multitude of narrow cobblestone alleyways. Cyprus lined country roads, and vineyards surround the village where the worldwide-famous "Brunello di Montalcino", one of the most excellent Italian red wines, is produced.
