Tuscany receives more tourists annually than any other part of Europe, outstripping even major European capital cities. It is perhaps most famous for the ancient winding streets of Florence and its rolling landscape of cultivated fields and Cyprus trees. However, Tuscany also possesses Europe’s most coherent historical narrative to be preserved in stone, the story of the European Renaissance. From the twilight of the Feudal Order to the Wars of Religion, Giotto to Leonardo da Vinci, and Barbarossa to Machiavelli, you can discover traces of every chapter in this story.
