The Tuscany region

Tuscany is one of the oldest civilized regions in Europe. The Etruscans colonized the area long before Rome had been founded. Tuscany is one of Italy's most beautiful and landscape-wise varying region. Throughout the centuries, outside its rich and opulent medieval and renaissance towns, Tuscany has conserved its original rural and pastoral character from wavy green pasture land over to rough and rocky mountains topping sterdy and healthy chestnut forests. The Tuscan seaside is characterized by long and wide sand beaches lined with beautiful pinewood forests. Tuscany is the ideal region for culture and nature lovers.
