Tuscany – A Land of pure Poetry

"...e perché meno ammiri la parola, guarda il calor del sol che si fa vino, giunto a l’omor che de la vite cola...".
Dante Alighieri, xxv canto del Purgatorio 


Dante Alighieri in the xxv canto of Purgatory in the Divine Comedy recites that “…so you should be less surprised by my words, notice how the warmth of the sun becomes wine, when the sap trickles out from the vine….”. 
Gently rolling hills decorated with silvery olive groves, shady mountains covered by great woods of chestnut trees, medieval villages, isolated farm houses framed by tall cypress trees, towns full of ancient art treasures. Tasty dishes, generous wines, heady perfumes of rosemary and wheat. Tuscany is the favourite haunt of learned spirits and gourmets.

Since Etruscan times the territory between Siena and Florence has been chosen as the homeland of vines and olive trees.
Nowhere else do the love of art, good food and delightful idleness coexist so closely as here in Tuscany. Dante with his Divine Comedy and Boccaccio’s Decamerone laid the foundations of the Italian language. Here Galileo revolutionised scientific research; Michelangelo brought the Renaissance to its maximum splendour. Cathedrals and sumptuous buildings demonstrate the wealth and imagination of the people of this land. Let yourself be seduced by the quiet and the treasures of Tuscany.
