The Tuscany region
From the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, from extraordinary paintings and sculpture to frescoes and architectural masterpieces. Visitors to Tuscany come for many reasons. Many come in search of fine art, others to explore the extraordinary countryside. Gourmets and wine buffs descend on Tuscany to enjoy the simple yet wonderful cuisine and wine. Walkers enjoy the mountain paths, cyclists the rolling hills, summer vacationers the sea coast and islands.
There is a lot to see and do in Tuscany, the difficulty is really where to start. Certainly most should start with Florence, then continue on to Siena and Pisa. The roll call of città di arte, cities of art, is daunting: Arezzo, Cortona, San Gimignano and Lucca are all striking. The more you come to know the region, the more extraordinary Tuscany appears. Enjoy your visit!
Chianti / Castellina in Chianti area
Castellina stands more than protected on its hilly bed. The village offers a series of patrician palazzos which are restored military garrisons built first by the associates of the counts Guidi who, originally from Garfagnana , pressed forward into the heart of Tuscany in the attempt to control it either diplomatically or militarily, and later by the Florentines who were constantly on their guard against the Sienese. The centre of the built up area is the ancient fortress designed in the second half of the fifteenth century by the great architect Giuliano da Sangallo.
In Via Ferruccio one gets the feeling of Castellina’s former opulence. Right at the end of this street, at the fork leading to the fortress, is the neo-Romanesque church of San Salvatore, rebuilt after being destroyed in the second world war.
A stop-off in Castellina may obviously include tasting at the numerous wine lodges, but you can also get to know the great art of Chianti pork-butchers whose charcuterie is highly prized for its unforgettable flavours.
How to get there
