ATTENTION. Language: English.
The Italian region of Tuscany is a feast for all the senses. A creative incubator that has cultivated art and architecture for eras such as Etruscan, Roman, Renaissance and modern. Crumbling churches, once stages of 19th-century tower blocks, stand on the piazzas of the towns. The Wheat hills and colorful olive groves that inspire authentic Tuscan cuisine are dotted with villas built by the prestigious Medici family. The Tyrrhenian Sea stretches off its shores, lapping the shore of Elba, the island where Emperor Napoleon was exiled. Picturesque villages, historic towns and bustling cities dot its landscape, which is almost as varied as the communities themselves. From the annual horse races in the Piazza del Campo, to the centuries-old winemaking traditions of the Chianti region, to the city of Pisa, an ancient maritime republic known for the youthful spirit of its Scuola Normale Superiore and Leaning Tower, Tuscany is a dream location, where thousands of people come to relive its history and enjoy the beauty of a region.
In the fashion world, Ferragamo, Gucci and Pucci all have ties to Florence and its endless inspiration. But what really defines Tuscany is its timelessness. The masterpieces of past centuries still draw huge crowds. Brunelleschi's dome in Florence never fails to arouse the admiration of visitors.
Cesare Cunaccia is a writer, lecturer, curator and journalist. He has been editor-in-chief for Vogue Italia and L'Uomo Vogue and antiques consultant for Architectural Digest Italy.
