Read an Excerpt

Tuscany is at the very heart of Italy. It’s a region that is both unique

and alluring, that gave the world Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci

and Dante Alighieri. Squeezed between Italy’s industrial north and

the more agricultural south, it blends characteristics of the two

– more laid back than places like Milan, less chaotic than Sicily or

Naples. It’s a place where lively modern cities thrive and happily

rub shoulders with tiny hamlets in which life seems hardly to have

changed since medieval times.
