(Redirected from Crete senesi)
The 'Crete Senesi' refers to an area of the Italian region of Tuscany to the south of Siena. It consists of a range of hills and woods among villages and includes the ''comuni'' of
Asciano,
Buonconvento,
Monteroni d'Arbia,
Rapolano Terme and
San Giovanni d'Asso, all within the province 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.
Perhaps the most notable edifice of this area is the monastery Monte Oliveto Maggiore.
