Cities

Tuscany opens itself up to its visitors with the knowledge of still being today a beacon of civilisation. Here a trip has the unaltered charm of the Grand Tour. It is impossible to be insensitive to the natural symbiosis between landscape and culture, history, architecture and town planning. Think of the university of renaissance learning or of Tuscany as a laboratory of artistic experience. A synthesis started with the rocky seats of Cetona, the stele statues of Lunigiana, the presence of ancient civilisations on the Isola d’Elba, continuing with the Etruscan necropolises, the tangible signs of a Roman past, the numerous testimonies of the Middle Ages, the Gothic embellishments, the explosion of the Renaissance, the richness of Baroque, the Macchiaioli, the advent of the floral or Liberty style, and finally through to the expressions of contemporary art.
