Tuscany and surroundings


The typical Tuscan landscape most famous in the world is that of plains and hills, in particular in the area around Florence and Siena, where more than in any other part one can enjoy the harmony which unites man with nature.
Here orderly cultivations of vines and olives alternate, marked by rows of Cypresses and by farm houses which give the visitor a sense of balance and elegant beauty.
Toscana is not only hills, a notable part, about one million hectares, is mountains, rich with centuries old woods and forests, as for example the area of Amiata and Casentino.
Lastly the Tuscan sea, where the uncontaminated little islands emerge from our archipelago, presenting us with a fairytale landscape.

Siena, renowned Historical center on the top of an hill between the valley of the river Arno and the river Elsa. Siena was an ancient Etruscan settlement, conquered later on by the Romans, while in the Middle Ages it was constantly the main rival to the nearby Florence. Piazza del Campo, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, is the symbol of the town, where every Summer, the famous Palio takes place.

Florence, with no doubt one of the most renown town in the world, Florence owns a unique art heritage both in terms of quantity and variety, that is impossible to describe on just few words.
In the southern surroundings area of Florence, the Florentine Chianti, merged in vineyards and olive-groves , and thick woods, among gently sloping, mane-hued green hills offers the most beautiful landscapes.
The main districts of Chianti Classico, as Radda, Gaiole and Castellina, until the Chianti of Siena’s areas, still preserve a well importance for their “Wine tracks”.

Arezzo, historical centre situated on the top of a hill, maintains a distinct Medieval aspect: the Cathedral, the City Palace abd the Medici’s Fortress are praiseworthy examples of times architecture.

San Gimignano, suggestive small centre with its towers, located on the top of a hill overlooking Val’d’Elsa area, that offers to the tourist beautiful landscapes and unique natural sightseeings.

The Casentino is situated in north-east Tuscany on the border with Romagna, its boundaries marked out by mountain ridges that give it the appearance of a amphitheatre, through the centre of which runs the river Arno (close to its source on Monte Falterona). The Casentino is in the province of Arezzo and includes the Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, which can boast the most extensive and best-preserved woods in Italy and the greatest variety of fauna in the whole of the northern Apennines.

…So come to visit Tuscany.. a place of great emotions.. walking among the green hills, riding horses.. to know art cities, small and old hamlets …to taste typical products..

…Good Journey!!
