	Crete Senesi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Crete Senesi refers to an area of the Italian region of Tuscany to the south of Siena.
		Crete senesi are literally ‘Siennese clays’ and the distinctive grey colouration of the soil gives the landscape an appearance often described as lunar.
		This characteristic clay, known as mattaione, represents the sediments of the Pliocene sea which covered the area between 2.5 and 4.5 million years ago.

		A bicycle trip to the Crete Senesi has the flavour of a daydream with your feet placed firmly on the ground, because “anatomically” they are the impalpable soul of a fascinating body, sometimes expressed in the sculpted forms of a Greek statue, sometimes in the curves of a tempting siren.
		The Crete Senesi, then, as a voyage of the soul, an itinerary of discovery to be followed in the same spirit as the Grand Tour, without seeking destinations that are as mystical as they are useless.
		The landscape of the Crete Senesi is a triumph of essentialness and harmony, a timeless image, a picture that blends the forms of an Etruscan graffito and a sign of modern art.
