The region
The roots of all are in Tuscany - from big to small things. Piero Della Francesca's fresco is the spirit of a region that has spent most of his money on beauty and quality. The perfection of the Tuscan culture can be found in a bowl of Ribollita soup, made with cabbage and served with seasonal oil d ' olive oil freshly squeezed, or tasted in a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino Riserva ; but it can also be found in one of the many free delights of the region, its landscape painting, its thermal water reservoirs, or some of its beaches still poorly understood.
These things are not present in the rest of Italy, but Tuscany has a unique concentration of them. It also combines fierce pride and attention to detail, such as the protection of the territory, complex and irritating but also simple and basic to the conservation of the region.
Tuscany is a collection of cities, Siena, Lucca, Arezzo, Pisa, Cortona, each outstanding for its harmony and beauty. Then there are villages, named in Italian Borghi, San Gimignano, Cortona, Pienza, Volterra, Montepulciano, and many others. In the countryside villas, country houses, farmhouses, cottages that tell an ancient rural life. This great man's work is identified with the epic landscape.
