Tuscany at a glance
An emotion packed journey discovering the history, landscapes and art of the region where the Renaissance was born: from the hills of Chianti to the beaches of Versilia, past medieval hill towns and art cities.
The landscapes of Tuscany are simply too beautiful for words and perhaps, for this reason, for centuries they have been the subject of thousands of paintings and photographs. This said, Tuscany is the birthplace of the Italian language. This is also where the Renaissance was born - an artistic, cultural, and social movement which had a lasting impact on Italian culture and on that of the rest of Europe. Tuscany and its capital, Florence, testify to this incredible moment in history. The great architectural feats, the ecclesiastical buildings, the sculpture, and the paintings which can be seen here are all expressions, not only of the dynamic and radical changes which surged through Europe, but also of the pure genius of artists famous throughout the world.
