Manciano is a town and comune in the southern part of the province of Grosseto, Tuscany, central Italy. It has a population of about 7,000.
Manciano is 18 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of Pitigliano and 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of Orbetello.
Manciano was once a fairly important market town for the area of the Albegna and Fiora valleys, with a stronghold already recorded in the twelfth century. A brief occupation by Siena (1419–55) left the town an imposing fortress built around 1424.
The most important site in the comune is Saturnia, an old Etruscan town with medieval walls, remains of a Roman road, and best known for its thermal springs dating to the Roman period and still in use today. The comune is further known to students of Late Antiquity as the place where the famous silver platter of Ardabur Aspar, consul in 434, was found (in the Fosso Castione, a creek near Marsiliana).
The densely built town centre of the frazione Montemerano, crowned by its leaning tower of San Lorenzo, is contained within its ancient walls. Montemerano became a power center of the signori dei Baschi, who dominated the comune. The thirteenth-century church is dedicated to San Lorenzo; frescoes remain on its walls, and a polyptych by the Sienese painter Sano di Pietro. At a short distance, in open countryside, is the church of the Madonna del Castuzzo.
Manciano is a village in the Italian province of Perugia in east central Umbria on a flank of Mt. Matigge, at altitude 509 m above sea-level. It is a frazione of the comune of Trevi, which is 3 km SSW. Its population is approximately 100 inhabitants.
The frazione extends several kilometers further to the NE into the Apennine range and the hamlet of Ponze at 904 m altitude, with one more medieval church and a good view of central Umbria.
The main point of interest of the village is the church of S. Martino and, not far away, the ruins of the Romanesque abbey church of Santo Stefano in Manciano.
Manciano may refer to several places in Italy:
And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity, did you see
The way I cowered to authority? You see
And my life, it's a series of compromises, anyway it's a shame
And I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see
Than I had before, than I've presently got
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I've presently got
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I could possibly spend
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
Than I had before, than I could possibly spend
Than I'll ever use up, than I really need
It's more than I can spare
My religion is caged
Safe from progress, purgatory I know
How does this affect me? Emotionally affect me
Will they let me go?
Will they let me go?
Will they let me go?
Equilibrium imbalanced again
I feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
Jabberwocky haunts me, in my memory it's caged
I feel no pain
I feel no
I feel no pain
Jabberwocky haunts me, in my memory it's caged
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
I feel no pain
But if you punched me in the stomach, then I'd feel it again
