| Arezzo e Casentino: |
|
|
The town of Arezzo has very old origins. It stands among the four valleys which make up its province:
Valdarno, Casentino, Valtiberina and Val di Chiana. Owing to its strategical position it has been and
in a way it is still today, a meeting place for different civilizations.
Rich of monuments and works of art (Cathedral of San Donato, church of San Francesco where there
is the famous Leggenda della Croce by Piero della Francesca, the Medicean Fortress), Arezzo is known
for the Fiera dell´antiquariato, which takes place every first sunday of the month. (Place: Pratovecchio , Arezzo, Talla, Ortignano Raggiolo, Anghiari, Ceciliano, Capolona, Castelfocognano, Rassina, Castel San Niccolò)

| Cortona e Valdichiana: |
|
|
This is the most extensive of the valleys in the Appennine chain: over 500 sq. kilometres of well
organized, cultivatedf farm land. The underground tombs of Camucia and Sodo, the finds from Farneta
anf Foiano and the Cortona museum all testify to the effect that the Etruscans inhabited and cultivated
this valley draining it of the waters which for thousands of years has reduced it to marshland.
Particularly interesting are the little towns of Castiglion Fiorentino, Lucignano, Monte San Savino and
obviously Cortona. (Place: Cortona, Montecchio, Foiano, Castiglion Fiorentino, Foiano della Chiana)

| Il Chianti: |
|
|
The Chiantishire extends to the west of Arno river, between Siena and Firenze, and today
it is known after all as the zone where the homonymous wine is produced. The Chiantishire
is characterized by a following of gentle and wavy hills where vineyards, olive-groves and
woods alternate with little villages. Its closeness to the most important towns of Tuscany
makes it a favoured place for tourism.

According to statistics produced by Unesco, 60% of the world´s most important works of art are located in Italy and approximately half of these are in Florence... The cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, the Ponte Vecchio, the oldest one of Florence, Santa Croce, Palazzo Pitti or the Uffizi Gallery, here you can find all kind of attraction and this is certainly one of the best places where to spend your holidays!

| Toscana Mare: |
|
|
The Tuscan coast is characterized by long beaches, such as those of Versilia and Maremma which alternate with cliffs and headlands, such as the beautiful Argentario. The Natural Park of Uccellina, the Elba island with the Tuscan archipelago and the touristic harbours of Porto Santo Stefano and Punta Ala are places of great interest.
If you spend your holidays in the Tuscan coast, you also have the opportunity to make excursions through the Maremma and Chianti and to see wonderful towns such as Florence, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Siena and Volterra.
It is worth making a visit to the Etruscan ruins of Populonia, Vetulonia, Roselle and Ansedonia, too. (Place: Marina di Grosseto, Principina a Mare, Castiglione della Pescaia)
