Radicondoli

THE VILLAGE THAT HOSTS THE TYPICAL PRODUCTS OF VAL D'ERA

Radicondoli is situated on the Valley which crosses the Cecina's River and extends to the metalliferous hills, a few kilometres from Siena.

The village was inhabited since Etruscan times, but knew a strong development during the middle ages. Its strategic position between Volterra and the metalliferous hills, with their deposits, made a rich and interesting place for the many Radicondoli Tuscan families that once lived there.

His fortunes passed through a rich economy based on craft, still practiced and shown in the atelier of the village and in the exhibitions.

Radicondoli is the Collegiata di San Simone e San Giuda, inside which there is a rich collection of sacred art with an altarpiece by Pietro di Domenico and two oil on canvas of Casolani.

 

Traditions and Typical products

The typical products of Radicondoli are an example of craftsmanship and authenticity. In the village and in the surrounding area you can taste the excellent wines to accompany "cinta senese's salami" and cheeses made with locally sourced milk.
