The best pictures of Tuscany: Giglio Island

August in Italy means going to the sea side! Most Italian offices and stores close for a couple of weeks in August and generally Italians holidaymakers prefer to spend their summer vacation on the beach. Fortunately Tuscany offers a great number of places with crystalline water, beautiful landscape and lots of sport activities. The island of Giglio is one of this good options! Here you find some of the most beautiful pictures we found. Have fun!

Every Saturday AroundTuscany selects the best photos of Tuscany found on Flickr. We choose a certain subject and we select some pictures taken by people we don’t know: maybe from a traveler, from someone who lives in Tuscany… the point is to show you the “real Tuscany”. There are so many real Tuscanies inside Tuscany that a single point of view wouldn’t be enough. Hope you enjoy the idea and stay tuned because we might select your picture next week!

Sunflowers in Tuscany

It’s hard not to fall in love with a field of sunflowers: they give us a sense of happiness, like a sun shining in a beautiful summer day.

Although sunflowers are native from the Central America, in the 18th Century they became very popular in Europe and nowadays they are almost a symbol of Tuscany. When you hear the word “girasoli” it’s because someone is talking about sunflowers here in Italy.

When are sunflowers blooming in Tuscany?

OK GO @ Italia Wave Love Festival

Last wednesday I took a train with a luggage full of cameras, cables, computers, cell phones and others electronical devices.
I was heading to Livorno for the first day of the Italia Wave Love Festival!
Maybe the hotel’s housekeepers thought that I was a spy or an electrician but, no I’m a Social Media Reporter and I work for the Tuscan Region promoting events and live music.

Livorno's sea

As I arrived in Livorno I felt so good! The smell of the sea, a little breeze and the idea of being surronded by music, sun and the beach for 5 following days made me pretty happy!
