Pienza


([piˈɛnza], noun):


In 1459 the world’s best architects and city planners were summoned by Pope Pius II to build the perfect city.

Pius’ sleepy hometown, Corsignano, was completely rebuilt by the Pope to be the quintessential Renaissance town and the perfect modern city – made without compromise.  It was named Pienza by the Pope after completion.  We build B2B SaaS companies from scratch with the same care for our craft and expertise.  Additionally, Aaron originated the idea for Pienza while drinking a Brunello in this Tuscan town while on sabbatical in 2019.
