Capalbio

Nicknamed 'little Athens' for its importance in the Renaissance, Capalbio is a walled hill town at the southern tip of Tuscany, close to the border with Lazio. Charlemagne gave its castle to the Tre Fontane abbey in 805; later, under Siena, the Orsini completed the Rocca and the walls. Below the town lie 12 kilometres of beach, the coastal Lake Burano and the vineyards of the Capalbio DOC.
