Tuscany

The area of the most beautiful cities of art, marvelous and rich in uncountable treasures, immersed in a lovely countryside dotted with noble villas and characteristic small towns. Here, 3000 years ago, lived the mysterious Etruscan people, at whose decline rose the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, it was the land of proud republics, like Florence, Pisa, and Lucca, and noble Lordships and bloody shows between popes and emperors; it was also the cradle of the Renaissance. From the mountains of the Apuane Alps, to the sea of Versilia, to the charming islands of the Tuscan archipelago, an ideal land for any type of vacation, from the more mundane to the more sporty, from the more cultural to the more family-style.
