The Tuscany region
From the late Middle Ages and throughout the Renaissance, Toscana was a centre for the arts and learning. It was here that the Tuscan spoken language became the literary language of Italy after Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio used it instead of the traditional Latin to create profound works still read today. And it was here that schools of architecture, sculpture, and painting developed from the 11th century in cities like Firenze, Pisa, Siena, and Arezzo.
