And something to traverse those hills with: the Elettrotreno ETR 300 “Settebello”:
Si tratta di un elettrotreno rapido di lusso, uno dei simboli del made in Italy, rimasto in servizio dagli anni ‘50 sino agli anni ‘90. Costruito dalla Breda di Sesto San Giovanni e consegnato alle FS nel 1952, il treno assolutamente innovativo per l’epoca, poteva raggiungere agevolmente i 180 km/h.

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Tuscany offers a "dolce vita" mix of hearty cuisine, fascinating history, and gentle beauty. First we'll learn about the original Tuscans — the ancient Etruscans — at Volterra's Etruscan Museum, then we'll tour a hill town that was important to both the Etruscans and the Romans, head into the woods for a truffle hunt, eat slow food Italian-style during Sunday lunch in Chiusure, and finish in Montepulciano, where we'll get passionate about the local wine. © 2006 Rick Steves' Europe

In the Italian countryside, we'll connect with rustic, traditional culture: enjoying an agriturismo (farmhouse inn), seeing how prosciutto and pecorino cheese are made, and hiking to the bottom of deep and ancient wine cellars. We'll end in Assisi — the hometown of St. Francis — which retains its spiritual aura to this day. Like pilgrims, we'll explore its stony center before trekking to its awe-inspiring basilica, built on the tomb of the beloved saint.
