Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, is home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art, architecture, markets, and of course its cuisine. One of its most iconic sights is the Duomo, a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi and The Galleria dell’Accademia which displays Michelangelo’s “David” sculpture.
The Tuscan countryside is best known for its rolling hills, which are populated by quaint Agriturismos, golden vineyards, and olive groves. Other famous sights to see in Tuscany include its many medieval hilltop towns, including Montepulciano, Pitigliano, and San Gimignano, all famous for their spectacular cheeses, rich Chianti wines, and extraordinary Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
