Tuscany offers a vast array of potential vistas: hills and meadows that stretch for miles, seafronts, mountaintop spectacles, tiny villages and cultural experiences that only can he had in Tuscany. Located in the central western part of Italy, Tuscany is blessed with a lovely Mediterranean climate that compliments the beauty of the region.
The Tuscany life tempo is languorous and relaxed. If a quiet and peaceful destination is your goal then the uncomplicated offerings of Tuscany are perfect for you. Tuscany is a tapestry of abundant, classical beauty. The Tuscan people are welcoming and warm and they want you to love their Tuscany as much as they do.
The history of Tuscany is a mysterious one, Tuscans came from either Asia or Europe, and the academic world still debates Tuscany history to this day. The ancient Etruscans, of which Tuscany draws its name, created a cultural civilization defined by its stunning artwork. Tuscany saw Florence emerge as a great artistic center during the Renaissance, was part of the French Empire during the rein of Napoleon, became part of Italy in 1860 and Tuscany fell under the Fascist rule of Mussolini until 1943.
Its rich history makes Tuscany quite possibly the epicenter of art in the world, from the array of astonishing paintings and sculpture to the stunning rustic architecture and frescoes. The Tuscany museums are bursting with treasures that have been carefully cultivated and maintained through centuries.
Tuscany captivates you, as it seems that almost every piece of land has been finely sculpted, just like its art. Both a natural, elemental nature and generations of workers have come together to make the Tuscany land as productive as possible and still be breath taking. The gorgeous vineyards produce some of the worlds most spectacular and celebrated wines.
The Chianti region of Tuscany is especially known for the rich deep wines that are produced. These Tuscany Chianti wines are made using the difficult to grow Sangiovese grape. The soil and climate is critical to the successful taste of the Chianti wine.
Tuscany is a location that offers something for absolutely everyone. Picture yourself on a idyllic late afternoon in Tuscany at a small vineyard sitting at a table in the shade and enjoying a glass of Chianti from Tuscany with someone you love.
