Italy's Treasure: Tuscany

River Arno in Florence
Tuscany combines beautiful rural settings with an art-filled city, which appeals to most of us.

The food and wine entice us; the people enrich us; the memories haunt us.
Florence across the Arno River

View From Piazzale Michelangelo

When I was photographing a view of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo, I zoomed in on the buildings across the Arno River

The third building from the left was the Hotel that we stayed in.

Montepulciano with San Biagio Church

Beautiful Hill Towns

The photograph was taken of Montepulciano with The Church of San Biagio in the foreground to the left.

Montepulciano is a medieval hill town that we spent one entire day exploring. It is famous for its wine and its cheese.

 Gorgeous spot for a glass of wine! Isn't it funny we all love the David..in spite of the proportions being off? So much beauty in Italy. Thanks for the respite.

 Enjoyed your Tuscany Tips, especially the Pisa is more than a tower..

 I'm planning our Tuscan honeymoon next year (my poor fiance has never been to Italy!). Your tips will certainly be useful, thanks for sharing! I see Scotland on your wishlist - I'm going back in 16 days, you *must* visit the Highlands! Jess :-)
