Omschrijving
Tuscany... The name evokes a unique lifestyle, the legacy of
an extraordinary historical and cultural heritage. In Tuscany,
daily life is steeped in art : villas and gardens are wonders of
balance between man and nature ; interiors harbor treasures
jealously guarded through the centuries. In this sumptuously
illustrated book, we discover villages where time seems to have
stopped ; the extraordinary interiors and gardens of villas and
palaces ; and the traditional crafts, cuisine, and wines which
make this region so exceptional.
Vineyards and rolling hills
From the Maremma coastline to the countryside
around Siena, from the vineyards of Chianti to the
famous beaches of Viareggio, not forgetting the ancient
cities of Florence, Siena, Lucca, Arezzo, Cortona... the
ever-changing scenery of Tuscany is a source of infinite
delight.
Gardens of Tuscany
Famous for its sumptuous villas, Tuscany welcomes the
garden lover : the Boboli Gardens in Florence, the
gardens in Lucca or Siena-less well-known but just as
beautiful-Living in Tuscany brings these havens of
tranquility to the reader.
Tuscan Interiors
A room with a view over the Piazza del Campo in
Siena, medieval terraces in the heart of Florence, grand
villas surrounded by vineyards belonging to Tuscany's
ancient nobility, the homes of artists and writers.
Tuscany opens its doors to reveal its cultural and
creative riches.
Artistic heritage
Tuscany is justly proud of its artistic and cultural
heritage : fabulous museums in the heart of ancient
cities displaying all the glories of Italian decorative art ;
the workshops of sculptors from all over the world
come to work in the small town of Pietrasanta ; artisans
breathing new vigor into the traditional crafts of the
region-Impruneta pottery, silks and perfume from
Florence, mosaic art, marbled paper and leatherwork.
Places of special interest
Well-known Florence restaurants or tiny trattorias in
isolated hamlets, local markets, the village butcher who
is also a poet, wines from Chianti and purest olive oils
for the gourmet palate, Tuscany is a synonym for good
living. Old family villas turned into hotels, small farms
that welcome families exploring off the beaten track :
discovering Tuscany's hidden treasures becomes a real
delight.
Visitor's Guide
The best addresses, as recommended by the Tuscans
themselves, to discover the true Tuscany beyond the
tourist trail. From little-known museums to the best
vineyards to visit, from where to find the finest hand-made
