Tuscany for art lovers

Tuscany is a destination known worldwide for its impressive monumental and artistic wealth, as well as for the historical ensembles of Pisa, Lucca, Florence and Siena. Although Livorno, Massa, Carrara, Arezzo, Grosseto, Prato and Pistoia, despite being much less known destinations, they also have numerous cultural attractions that are worth knowing. From the Etruscan era, the necropolis of Vetulonia, Sovana and Populonia are preserved, and the Roman colony stands out from the Roman era, as one of the best-preserved sites in the Roman Republic. But they are undoubtedly the most important medieval remains in this region, as emblematic places such as the historical centres of the cities of Florence, Pisa, Siena and Pienza, Piazza dei Miracoli and the Orcia Valley. In addition, in the surroundings of Florence and elsewhere in Tuscany we find some rural architectural complexes that were part of the properties of the Medici family between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries.
