A visit to Tuscany goes hand in hand with excellent wine, great food made from local produce, and the extra virgin olive oil which is famous around the world. But a tour of Tuscany, following the roads and ways of its finest foods, can also be fruitful for cinema lovers.
A visit toLucca to taste the wines of the Colline Lucchesiand the Extra-virgin Olive Oil of Lucca DOP, also brings you close to the locations chosen bySpike Lee for his film Miracle in St. Anna which was filmed in this area. The wines of Chianti, with their violet and plum scents and fruity, harmonic flavours, bring the film enthusiast to the views that Bernardo Bertolucci chose for Io ballo da sola.
A trip down the "wine roads" of Vino Orcia, stopping for tastings of the Orcia DOC red, is also a trip through the locations of the classics Romeo and Juliet,directed by Franco Zeffirelli, andRidley Scott'sGladiator.
Love Roberto Benigni? Visit Arezzo, Castiglion FiorentinoandMontevarchi, where the Tuscan director filmed the Oscar-winningLIfe is Beautiful.
Or what about Florentine director Leonardo Pieraccioni? Made famous by his movie The Cyclone, Pieraccioni filmed his masterpiece in the small villages of the Italian countryside near the towns of Poppi, StiaandLaterina, where you can find the farmhouse that was the location for a great deal of the film.
At the end of your tour, head towards the seaside to the rocks of Castiglioncello, filming site for Dino Risi's Il Sorpasso starring Gassman, Catherine SpaakandJean-Louis Trintignant - a fascinating look at 1960s Italy. Lose yourself in breathtaking panoramas and unforgettable Livornese meals.
