Tuscany Marvel

$150.00

The Italian region of Tuscany is a feast for all senses.  A creative incubator that has cultivated art and architecture for eras including Etruscan, Roman, Renaissance and modern times. Timeworn churches, once stops on nineteenth-century Grand Tours, stand tall in the towns piazzas.  Rolling hills of wheat and colourful olive groves, that inspire authentic Tuscan cuisine, are dotted with villas built by the prestigious Medici family.  The Tyrrhenian Sea extends off its coast, lapping the shore of Elba, the island where the emperor Napoleon was exiled.  Quaint villages, historic towns and bustling cities are scattered across its landscape, which is almost as varied as the communities themselves.    In the fashion world, Ferragamo, Gucci and Pucci all have ties to Florence and it's endless inspiration.  However what truly defines Tuscany is its timelessness.  Masterpieces from centuries past still lure immense crowds.  Brunelleschi's dome in Florence never fails to strike onlookers with awe.
