Un video meraviglioso che vi accompagnerà in Toscana, una delle più belle regioni italiane, con spiegazioni in inglese!
Florence is the
capital of Tuscany and at the end of the 14th Century was ruled by a few
leading families who not only financed churches but also competed in building
magnificent palaces. Of these, the Medici family proved to be the most
powerful. It is a city of art and joie de vivre and past home of important
artists and sculptors such as Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci,
plus the writers Dante and Boccaccio, not to mention the scientist, Galileo
Galilei. Lucca, one of Tuscany's most important historical towns, rises from
the lower reaches of the Serchio river, on a former swamp. The precarious imperfection
of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is in stark contrast to the grandiose palaces and
religious buildings of the Medici family and the natural contours of the hills.
Olive groves and vineyards line the gentle hilly landscape around the
picturesque, Vinci. The birthplace of Leonardo is a simple farmhouse above the
square in which only a modest bust portrays this universal genius.
Certaldo is a
Middle Age village built of red brick and was the birthplace of the author,
Giovanni Boccaccio. The heart of Tuscany lies around the provincial capital of
Siena, a Gothic city of great artistry. Its squares and streets, most of the
residential quarter and noble palaces, the cathedral and the church, date back
to the 13th and 14th centuries. History and culture combined with the beauty of
nature...Tuscany has it all!
Amazing ! This is cool!
