🎧 Listen to Introduction
Renaissance urban planning ideas were first put into practice in the Tuscan town in 1459, when Pope Pius II decided to change the face of his birthplace. He chose the architect Bernardo Rossellino, who applied the principles of his mentor, Leon Battista Alberti. This new vision of urban space was realized in the magnificent square known as Piazza Pius II and the buildings surrounding it: Palazzo Piccolomini, Palazzo Borgia and the Cathedral, with a pure Renaissance exterior and a late Gothic interior inspired by southern German churches.
