TOUR OF TUSCANY
An Introduction To Tuscany Italy
by: Rob Carlton
Tuscany, Italy is the place that movies are filmed and fantasies run
wild. Perhaps it is the cities of Florence, Pisa, or Livorno that invoke
feelings of culture, art, or arouse the senses to the smells and taste
of the Chianti region. The fact is that Tuscany is home to some of the
most famous tourist destinations in Italy. It is here that budding artists
come to learn from the masters. It is here that the world of fashion
takes it cues. And it is in Tuscany that romantics rekindle the flame
and celebrate their love.
The Cities of Tuscany
Florence is perhaps one of the most famous cities in the area known
as Tuscany. The Uffizi museum after all is home to such
masterpieces as “The Birth of Venus.” Originally built to house the
Tuscan administrative offices, the top floor now houses masterpieces
by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio. Each visitor to Florence
must also stop in and gaze at Michelangelo’s “David,” on display at
the oldest art academy, the Galleria dell’Accademia. The Ponte
Vecchio is a landmark that literally translated means “old bridge.” It
was built in the 1300s and has withstood floods and wars in order to
continue to hawk some of the world’s most wonderful 18 and 24k
gold products and leather goods.
Chianti is known for its wines which are famous around the world.
Tourists to Tuscany can enjoy the world’s finest wines while enjoying
the picturesque countryside.
Siena, also located in the Chianti region houses a gothic cathedral
and paintings by medieval masters, Duccio and Simone Martini. The
Renaissance and Etruscan history are evident in each landmark of
the region.
Piza is best known for the Leaning Tower whose construction began
in the 12th century, but starting sinking into the ground after only 3
stories were completed. It stood this way for 90 years and was finally
completed by the son of Andreo Pisano, Tommano Simone and
Giovanni de Simone almost 200 years after it was started.
Hillsides and Waysides
Part of the beauty and mystique of Tuscany is its countryside. The
rolling hills that slope down to the coast are dotted with vineyards and
villas. There are working farms and vacation villas suitable for the
most adventurous tourists or those who demand first class
accommodations. Tuscany car rentals allow tourists to explore each
tiny village at their own pace and on their own schedule.
The Heart of Commerce
Emerging as a real business centre, Tuscany is home to thriving
businesses in the furniture, leather, fashion, and manufacturing
industries. These businesses keep the region in the 21st century
while the people and culture keep one foot in the past.
If romance, tradition and culture are your idea of an ideal vacation,
then Tuscany is for you. On the other hand if shopping and the face
pace of a thriving city are your style then you will also find it in the
Tuscany region of Italy.
