Tuscany
tourism, a
charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of man and
nature, and often by the combined efforts of both.
Every inch of
land of Tuscany has been sculpted, first by the elements and
then by generations of inhabitants whose goals were always
twofold: make the land produce as much as possible, make the
land as beautiful as possible. Tuscany enchants us today
because it holds together as a region, from the tiniest
hamlet to Florence the Magnificent.
Think of the
vineyards: rows of baby green vines that manage somehow to
march in arrow-straight formation up the gently rolling
hillsides, bounded by single files of darker green cypress
trees, snaking sandy roads leading to rust-coloured
farmhouses and moss-coated castles, symmetrically rounded
hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as to seem one
single building.
For the living
proof, take a short walk one day along the sides of the
Belvedere in Florence: you will leave behind the traffic and
suddenly find yourself strolling down quiet lanes bounded by tall
stone walls, cypress trees and creamy-coloured villas. You
could be anywhere in Tuscany and we dare you not to
fantasize about living here.
