On the cultural side, Tuscany has more to offer than all the treasures in its two world-famous cities Florence and Siena, which have rivaled each other for centuries in the breathtaking wealth of their cultural heritage. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, buildings rose up throughout the region that were to have a decisive influence on the whole of European culture. On another plane, Tuscany is the home of many legendary folk festivals, for instance, the Palio in Siena and the Giostra del Saracino in Arezzo. All these traditions have been carried on for centuries, and the historical costumes that the participants still wear bring the distant past back to life in a most evocative way. This book will transport the reader and Tuscany lover through the region's varied landscapes, rich in culture, unearthing places of interest far off the beaten track.
