It was here in Tuscany, some 600 years ago, that the Renaissance movement took roots and gradually spread to the rest of europe.

Tuscany's unparalleled art-legacy can be witnessed in the works of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other brilliant artists of who showcased their work between the 14th- to 16th-century. Florence, the capital of the Toscana region, is widely regarded as the birthplace of the Renaissance. Some of the finest museums in the world, such as Uffizi, Galleria dell'Accademia are located here. Florence is also home to some of the finest Renaissance architecture and no visit to Tuscany can be complete without exploring Piazza del Duomo and Bargello Palace.

Wander through the countryside of the Chianti region, with the ever changing scenery of vineyards and olive trees. In Siena, see the magnificent Piazza del Campo, one of the most beautiful Squares of Europe. Visit the famed medieval skyscrapers of San Gimignano and explore the fortress of Monterriggioni, surrounded by the picturesque Tuscan countryside. Pose with Michelangelo's David in Galleria dell' Academia in Florence or tickle the palate with some of the finest Tuscan wines in Chianti and Montalcino. Take up the challenge of the Apuane Alps or explore the artistic wonders in the Ulffizi Gallery.

Yet Tuscany is much more than just a tourist-packed land of scenic beauty, art and architecture. It is here in the Tuscan region that Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio penned their masterpieces and sowed the seeds of a unified Italian language.
