Tuscany (4th ed)

This work: takes you through lunches in a Medici villa and stays in a medieval ex-monastery in the Arno valley; delves into the energy of Siena's frenzied Palio; explores the dense concentration of art in Florence and Pisa; takes in the sumptuous vineyards of Chianti; examines the wealth and dastardly doings that have shaped Tuscany's history; dines on gutsy Tuscan cooking in a traditional trattoria; and uncovers the sheer, luxuriant natural beauty of the lush green countryside.
