In the most south eastern corner of
Tuscany, a stone’s thrown from
Umbria and
Lazio, lies Chiusi, known to many only because this is where you change trains when travelling from
Rome to
Siena.
This is unfair because the town is most certainly not without charm or interesting sights. The town is actually right in the middle of one of the most impressive Etruscan archaeological sites, and its historic centre is quite lovely.
The town’s churches and museums are well worth a visit and there are many other excursion options close by.
Perugia,
Orvieto and
Cortona are all within 50 km, and since the A1 motorway passes the town, the 125 km to
Florence doesn’t take much more than an hour.
