Be ready to be amazed....From
the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany
is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world,
from extraordinary paintings and sculpture to frescoes and
architectural masterpieces.
Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of
man and nature, and often by the combined efforts of both.
Think of the vineyards: rows of baby green vines that manage
somehow to march in arrow-straight formation up the gently
rolling hillsides, bounded by single files of darker green
cypress trees, snaking sandy roads leading to rust-colored
farmhouses and moss-coated castles, symmetrically rounded
hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as to seem one
single building.
