Its gentle, cultivated hills are occasionally broken by gullies and by picturesque towns and villages such as Pienza (rebuilt as an "ideal town" in the 15th century under the patronage of Pope Pius II), Radicofani (home to the notorious brigand-hero Ghino di Tacco) and Montalcino (the Brunello di Montalcino is counted among the most prestigious of Italian wines). Its landscape has been depicted in works of art from Renaissance painting to modern photography. World Heritage SiteIn 2004 the Val d'Orcia was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. {{wide image|Val D'Orcia1.jpg|700px|Val d'Orcia with Monte Amiata, view to the west from La Foce}}Orcia DOCWithin the Val d'Orcia is a strip of land following the Orcia river between the DOCG zones of Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
