The Italian Renaissance sprang from the rich landscape of Tuscany its green and golden hills, groves of cypress and olive trees, brilliant light and exquisite, ancient cities. The Etruscans first settled here their life loving, creative spirit remains. Michelangelo, da Vinci, Bottecellii painted here, Dante and Petrarch wrote and Machiavelli and the Medici schemed. Siena's architectural gems, the Duomo, Palazzo Pubblico and the Campo, where the annual Palio is run, all gleam under the Tuscan sun. From this rich earth and cloudless sky, comes the acclaimed cuisine of Tuscany. Feast on olive oil, Tuscan beans, vegetables, pork, fish, stuffed pasta, crostini, risotto, succulent beef and wild boar. Hearty, honest subtlety seasoned with rosemary, fennel and thyme and handmade local cheeses. The food, like the country is a revelation.
