Tuscany

Tuscany, like a fine wine, has been some time in the making.  It is a region in central Italy, its capital is Florence, and is home to some of the world’s most recognizable Renaissance art and architecture, including Michelangelo’s “David” statue, Botticelli’s works in the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo basilica. Due to it’s many treasures, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, from extraordinary paintings and sculpture to frescoes and architectural masterpieces.

Visitors to Tuscany travel here for many reasons. Many come in search of fine art, others to explore the extraordinary countryside. Gourmet and wine buffs descend on Tuscany to enjoy the simple yet wonderful cuisine and wine.  Its diverse natural landscape encompasses the rugged Apennine Mountains, the island of Elba’s beaches on the Tyrrhenian Sea and Chianti’s olive groves and vineyards.  It is a walkers paradise with mountain paths, cyclists love the rolling hills, summer vacationers enjoy the sea coast and islands. Students come to learn the beautiful Italian language and culture.

There is a lot to see and do in Tuscany, the difficulty is really where to start. A great place to start would be Florence, then possibly continue on to Siena and Pisa. The more you come to know the region, the more extraordinary Tuscany appears.
