This stunning guide to the cultural heart of Italy will take you from Florence, with its many museums & its palaces & newly cleaned churches, to the surrounding hill towns, villas, & celebrated gardens; from the once Roman, walled city of Lucca to Pisa & its spectacular Piazza del Duomo; from Massa, Carrara, & the Apuan Alps to Arezzo & the rolling hills of Chianti, dotted with villas & vineyards; from Siena, the jewel of Tuscany, with its glorious Campo & Duomo, to such beautiful nearby towns as the 13th-century circular-walled Monteriggioni; to the unspoiled alternative Tuscany of Volterra & Livorno, the "Etruscan Riviera." This is a guidebook that takes you to the well-known & the less traveled parts of Tuscany alike.
