A beautiful city, with its own maximum artistic splendor during the Renaissance, surrounded by verdant vineyards, olive trees and cypresses. Also famous for its good wine called "Vernaccia", A white and sparkling wine named by many poets and artists as, for example, in one of his works the young Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1643 sings as follows:
“To the noble high and turreted land
We made a trip to the beautiful S. Gimignano ...
… Vernaccia
What they give to drink to anyone who comes there
Who kisses, licks, bites and pierces and stings "
