FOLLOW THE ALLURE OF HISTORICAL TUSCANY
Traversing Tuscany’s unique landscape invites comparisons to romantic stories of falling in love with this rich, flavorful region and engaging in a love affair with life’s simplest, yet most fulfilling pleasures. Comprising mountainside villages, a dreamlike countryside and the Italian Riviera coastline, Tuscany offers something for everyone.
Home to artistic savants, such as Michelangelo and modern designers Gucci and Ferragamo, Florence is known for cultivating some of the world’s most lauded artists. The city produced many of the creative minds that defined the Renaissance period. The Uffizi Gallery displays many of the finest artists’ works produced from the 14th through 19th centuries. But Florence’s creative arts are not limited to only painting and fashion design. The Piazza del Duomo is a testament to the incomparable architectural legacy that has grown over hundreds of years.
South of Florence sits Siena, a province rich in history and, as the region that includes the town of Chianti, winemaking. Siena’s Piazza del Campo is
a medieval masterpiece of exquisitely crafted buildings, which boast intricate brick designs, dramatic arches and house restaurants, souvenir shops and gelaterias. Within Siena’s hills lies Monteriggioni, a medieval village boasting
a lush landscape. The town’s walls, built in the 13th century, include many enormous square towers. Built to defend the Sienese from the Florentines, these structures were once likened to the giants of hell by Dante.
Traveling through the Tuscan city of Lucca, visitors notice Renaissance-era villas, once serving as country residences and holiday homes for nobility. Cloistered villages grace hilltops, as corresponding roads wind lazily up to one side and cypress trees greet visitors, outlining the journey ahead. In the old town, see beyond the 16th-century boundary walls and explore Lucca, the birthplace of composer Giacomo Puccini.
Tuscany’s long history of viticulture, dating back to 8th century B.C. Etruscan settlers, easily satiates palates of the food and wine-pairing crowd. Stroll through piazzas and medieval streets while admiring Italian architectural wonders. Relax while sampling the region’s best wines, which complement delicious cuisine at small family-run trattorias, for the ultimate taste of Tuscany.
