The beauty of the Tuscan landscape is simply too great for words, as is the Chianti countryside in which so many fine Italian wines are produced and the Crete Senesi. Tuscany is the birthplace of the Italian language, expressed in the works of Dante, Petrarca, and Boccaccio.
Tuscany is also the place where the Renaissance was born - an artistic, cultural, and social movement which had a lasting impact on Italian culture but also on that of the rest of Europe. The humanist era between the XIV and the XVI century had a profound and revolutionary effect on Italian civilisation.
Tuscany and its capital, Florence, testify to this incredible moment in history. The great architectural feats, the ecclesiastical buildings, the sculpture, and the paintings which can be seen here are all expressions, not only of the dynamic and radical changes which surged through Europe, but also of the pure genius of artists famous throughout the world.
