The Tuscany / Firenze Province region

Since the early nineteeth century Florence has been celebrated as the most beautiful city in Italy, but as a city Florence can be suprisingly forbidding - at first glance. It’s architechure is predominatly early Renaissance and retains many of the implacable, fortress like features of pre- Renaissance palazzi whose facades were mostly mean’t to keepintruders out rather than invite sightseeers in.

The fact is the best of Florence is to be seen indoors but there is so much packed into the area that you need to go slowly. If you have only a few days to spend here, the highlights are :- The Cathedrale and the Baptistry, the
paintings of the Uffizzi and the sculptures in the Bargello, which merits a visit even more than the Accademia where Michaelangelo’s famous David is kept. Stop off at the eccentric church of Orsanmichele or see the Arno from the Ponte Vecchio whilst taking in some of the oldest streets in the city. Visit Palazzo Pitti’s Gallery Palatina. Two churches on the edge of the city are galleries in themselves;Santa Maria del Carmine has the restored frescos of Masaccio among others.

Those devoted to the cult of Michaelangelo won’t want to miss the Medici Chapels. When you become tired of stone, head for the green oasis of the Boboli Gardens, behind the Palazzo Pitti.
Finally, take a climb up to San Miniato, (Piazza Michaelangelo) for a visit to its beautiful medieval church and wonderful views across the city.

TIPS
· Be careful of gyspy children who excel at pick pocketing
· Start off early as Florence gets extremely hot in the summer
· Remember that all the shops and museums are closed on Monday mornings.
· Some museums close at 2pm on Monday and don’t always reopen wheras shops close at 1pm and open after 4pm
· Do not pay for parking at Piazza Michealangelo as it is free. You may be asked by bogus car park attendants.

The Florence / Central Florence area

SIENA
Siena is the perfect counterpart to Florence. Draped across three hills a flamboyant medieval ensemble of palaces and towers. Self contained and still particaly rural behind its medeival walls. With its red brick streets and steep alleyways, two breathtaking buildings which stand out amonst the others are the stunning black and white stripe marble Gothic Cathedrale of early renaissance and the glorious rebrick Palazzo Publico overlooking the magnificent Piazza Del Campo - the loveliest of all Italian squares which is the site of its famous Palio horse race that has existed since the thirtheeth century.

This event takes place twice a year, on the 2nd of July and the 16th August. Siena is often descibed as Italy’s best preserved medieval city. But while much looks as it did in the early 14th Century, Siena is no museum. Walk throught the streets and you can witness a charming anachromism. The medieval contrade, the 17 neighborhoods into which the city has been historically divided, are vibrant and very much alive.

TIPS
· There is a market on Wednesday morning around the fortress walls which makes parking almost
impossible.
How to get there:
Take the superstrada in the direction Siena: Exit at Porto San Marco and follow signs for stadio/Centro or
the sign of a football as this will take you to parking around the fortress walls. Its paid parking.

SAN GIMIGNANO
Arguably Tuscany best preserved medieval hill top town, San Gimignano relative proximity to Siena and Florence also make it one of Italy’s most visited. If you want to get any feel for the place , beyond the level of art treasures or quaintness, you really need to visit late in the afternoon or better still spend the night here as in the evening the town takes on a very different pace and atmosphere. 5

The City of Beautiful Towers dates back to the 13th Century, 15 of the original 76 towers have survived. These windowless towers were built to serve both as a private fortress and as symbols of their owners wealth.There are two Piazza’s in San Gimignano - Piazza della Cisterna and Piazza del Duomo. The well in Piazza dele Cisterna dates back in 1237.
TIPS
· San Gimignano is famous for its light white wine which is called Vernaccia.
· Though gruesom the Torture Museum is a must.
· The local speciality is wild boar.
· Try and avoid Sunday afternoon as it is usually packed with Italians as well as visitors.
How to get there:
Take the superstrada towards Florence and exit at Poggibonsi Nord and not Poggibonsi. Once you have
exited the superstrada go round the roundabout and exit at the second exit direction San Gimignano, this new
road avoids you from driving into Poggibonsi town centre. Once in San Gimignano head for Car Park n. 3 –
Bagnaia where you will find the entrance to a free car park five metres after the pay one - turn just before the
bins!
