Holidays with art under the Tuscan sun
Tuscany is the "heart of Italy" - a region whose landscape and unique culture have charmed many. Tuscany is impossible not to love. It is enough to look at the hills stretching to the horizon, covered with hundreds of small vineyards, which at sunset "light up" in front of our eyes with a real madness of colors. The tiny towns emerging from the morning mists are one of the most romantic paintings you can see in Italy. And of course, the places on the map that Tuscany is famous for all over the world: Florence , Pisa and Siena - three cities that are bursting at the seams with world-class monuments. These three reasons: picturesque landscapes, traditional towns and "cities of art" will make every holiday in Tuscany an unforgettable experience. But where to start getting to know this amazing region? The answer is obvious: from Florence, the capital of the region. A city that loves art and beauty like no other in the world is a real dream. Let's start our visit to Florence from the symbol of this city - the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore , which rises towards the sky, showing the amazing richness of Renaissance decorations. It is easy to understand why this city attracts artists to this day. From the cathedral, it is worth taking a walk to Giotto's Bell Tower, and then reaching the top to admire the entire panorama of the city. From here, it is only a five-minute walk to reach the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio - the former town hall, famous for its numerous decorations and frescoes on the walls. Interestingly, it was in front of the main entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio that stood "David" - one of the most famous sculptures by Michelangelo. Today, a faithful replica of it stands in this place.
