Tuscany has captured the imagination of artists, historians and romantics through the centuries. The 'capo luogo' Firenze is literally a museum of fine art captured on celings, walls and in through architecture. What better place to come and enjoy take holidays in fine Tuscany Villas! In the thirteenth century, it wasn't just its art but also the city's currency, a 24 carat gold coin the Fiorino, that made it the preferred currency of trade in Europe. It shouldn't come as any surprise then that the Florentine's are very proud of their history, and believe that they hold a superior place in Italy's history and culture. After 11 years in the region, and having travelled throughout Italy, I'm starting to understand why.
