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.
