Arezzo Tourist Information Office
The particular geographical position of the Arezzo province has made it a meeting point for different civilisations and cultures. Crossed in a large part by the Arno River, which finds its source here, it is formed by four valleys: the Casentino, the Valdarno Superiore, the Valdichiana and the Val Tiberina. Illustrious characters were born in the area, such as Piero della Francesca at Sansepolcro, Petrarch and Vasari in Arezzo, Masaccio in San Giovanni Valdarno, Pietro da Cortona and Luca Signorelli in Cortona. Arezzo, a venue for important events such as the Saracen Jousting, the Antiques Fair and the international exhibition dedicated to gold-works, preserves important signs of ancient history from the Etruscan and Roman periods. The centuries-old woods and forests of the Casentino, the hills and the busy valleys host parishes, medieval villages, castles and the spiritual centres of Camaldoli and La Verna.

Chianciano Terme-Valdichiana Tourist Information Office
An unforgettable territory developed around renowned thermal centres, among which Chianciano is the most popular. Places set aside for looking after the person, wellbeing centres that become ideal starting points for discovering the never-before-seen face of a rich land, that holds pleasant surprises with its castles, villages, farmhouses, parishes and abbeys. On the hills are small “perfect” cities, medieval and renaissance buildings that still today make up architectural unicums: it is the enchantment of the rocky villages where time seems to stand still. Snapshots of beauty are immortalised to the memory: nature has generously designed an elegant and kind landscape formed by abundant springs of diverse and proven therapeutic properties. Already discovered by the Etruscans, the spas were a privileged destination of the cultured Grand Tour of the 1800s and today have rediscovered their ancient splendour. Famous for the production of wines and for excellent Chianina meat, this land is a spectacular glimpse of hilly landscapes that will make your holidays or business trips unique.

Costa degli Etruschi Tourist Information Office
A territory rich in historical and archaeological testimonies where different natural atmospheres alternate: wide pinewoods, kilometres of beaches and indented cliffs that conserve an intact nature. Livorno, an important commercial and touristic port, is the heart of the Etruscan Coast that consists in numerous, attractive coastal and hilltop resorts. The naturalistic and archaeological beauties are synthesised by the splendid Baratti Golf and by the Etruscan necropolises of Populonia in the Val di Cornia Parks. The cypresses whose praise was sung by Carducci are a characteristic of Bolgheri, still a place where prestigious red wines, just like those of the Val di Cornia, always a favoured zone for viticulture, are produced. The itineraries of the Wine Road wind through the countryside between villages, parishes, ancient farmhouses, cellars and companies. The cuisine is linked to those traditions that are based on local products that come both from the sea as from the inland hills, enriched by the fragrant olive oil.
