Tuscany

 
Overview

Tuscany is a region in central Italy. Its capital, Florence, 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.

Description

With its lyrical landscapes, world-class art, and a superb cucina contadina (farmer's kitchen), the Tuscan experience is perfectly in symbiosis with the land. 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.
