Short description of Tuscany
Tuscany (Toscana) is the heartland of the Italian Renaissance, a region of art cities, medieval hill towns and rolling vineyards between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Florence holds Brunelleschi's dome, the Uffizi and Michelangelo's David, while Pisa has its Leaning Tower and Lucca its intact Renaissance walls. Siena gathers around the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, and San Gimignano still raises its medieval towers above the vines. To the south the cypress-lined hills of the Val d'Orcia lead to Pienza, Montalcino and Montepulciano. Chianti wine, Florentine steak, the hot springs of Saturnia and the beaches of Elba make Tuscany worth a week or more.
