The cypress road is the postcard; the loggia is the detail.

This tuscany framed wall art is an original vintage-style print of the Val d'Orcia countryside around Pienza, arriving framed in black wood and ready to hang. A ready-made gift for anyone who has driven the Val d'Orcia, or is still planning to.

The design: the Val d'Orcia countryside from a stone loggia

The design is drawn flat — viewed from a stone loggia, with a tall column and arch on the left and a sun-lit balustrade running across the foreground, its baluster shadows striping the terrace floor. Beyond it, two rows of dark cypresses line a pale S-curved road climbing golden harvested fields to a terracotta-roofed farmhouse, with layered blue-gray hills, a distant mountain and a tiny hilltop town with a bell tower on the far ridge under a pale blue sky fading to cream. PIENZA sits in the sky at the top with TUSCANY, ITALY beneath it between two thin rules, worked in gold, ochre, warm sand, terracotta, dark olive green and blue-gray.

The Val d'Orcia from the terrace, at the hour it turns to gold.

Framed Tuscany print, ready to hang

• Print size: 16″×20″ (40.6×50.8 cm), portrait; the frame goes around the print, so the outside of the frame is a little larger
• Paper: 260 g/m² luster paper, 10 mil (0.25 mm) thick, with a finish that's partly glossy and partly matte
• Frame: black wood, 0.75″ (1.9 cm) thick, behind an acrylite front protector — lighter than glass and doesn't shatter
• Hanging hardware included — arrives ready to hang, so there's no framing errand
• Original artwork — a new illustration made for RaZits, not a reprint of a historic piece
• Care: wipe the acrylite front with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and keep it out of direct sunlight

Who it's for

For Italy travelers, Tuscany honeymooners and Italian-American families, plus wine-country and villa-holiday fans and farmhouse or Mediterranean-style decorators. It hangs well in an entryway, above a sideboard, in a guest room or a home office, and makes an easy honeymoon or anniversary keepsake, housewarming, Christmas or birthday gift, or a retirement or kitchen refresh present.

Quick answers

Is this a reprint of a vintage original?

It is an original illustration drawn in the mid-century travel-poster tradition — flat color, clean edges, bold lettering — and a new composition made for RaZits. It is not a scan of a historic print.

Is the cypress road a real Pienza view?

It's not a specific landmark. The print is an original composition inspired by the Val d'Orcia countryside around Pienza — the cypress-lined routes and golden, cultivated hills this UNESCO-listed landscape is known for.

What is the Val d'Orcia?

It's the UNESCO World Heritage landscape stretching from the hills south of Siena toward Monte Amiata, where avenues of cypress trees mark out farms and routes across the hills — celebrated by painters since the Renaissance.

What makes Pienza special?

Pope Pius II had his birthplace rebuilt as an ideal Renaissance town from 1459, and UNESCO named its historic center a World Heritage Site in 1996. It's one of the hill towns overlooking the Val d'Orcia.
