Cultural Note
Tuscany is often considered the heart of Italian culture. It gave the world the Renaissance, the Italian language (based on the Florentine dialect of Dante), and some of Italy's finest wines (Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino). The Val d'Orcia landscape of rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and medieval towns is a UNESCO World Heritage site and perhaps the world's most photographed countryside.
