Description
Holidays in Tuscany. Places, cities, history: Chianti, Florence, Pisa, Siena
Lying on Italy's west coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Tuscany is one of Italy's most popular destinations, and not without reason. It was the starting point of the Renaissance and offers a beautiful hilly landscape, often covered in grape vines, olive groves or sunflowers. It also produces Italy's most famous wine, Chianti . The most popular destinations in this region are Florence and Siena, both brimful with art and culture.
Regional culinary specialities include bistecca alla fiorentina (thick t-bone steak), minestrone alla fiorentina (vegetable soup) and Siena's panforte (rich fruit bread). Arguably Italy's finest olive oil is produced here and liberally used in food. A common starter is bruschetta , bread rubbed in garlic and dipped in olive oil. The region's wines are amongst Italy's most well-known. These include Chianti , Vernacchia , Brunello di Montalcino , Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the dessert wine Vin Santo .
The regional capital, Florence (Firenze), boasts a wealth of Renaissance art and architecture. Visitors flock from all over the world to see Michelangelo's David and the city's magnificent Duomo, to name two of a plethora of attractions. The city's allure does not, however, only lie in its artistic achievements but also in the charm of its position: situated on the banks of the Arno River, at the foot of wooded hills. Florence is host to many music festivals throughout the year and an international film festival in December. The patron saint of the city, St John the Baptist, is honoured on 24 June with a celebration of spectacular fireworks.
