Have you ever tasted Tuscan bread? It is a completely salt-free, naturally leavened bread with a thin, crisp crust. It has been produced in Tuscany since ancient times, as testified by the writings of Titus Livius.

It is used in the preparation of many typical dishes such as Panzanella and Ribollita and is an excellent accompaniment to Tuscan cold cuts. It is protected by the Consorzio di Promozione e Tutela del Pane Toscano a Lievitazione Naturale. It is a unique speciality, perfect to accompany the area's typical cured meats and cheeses.

🌸 Known by the conventional name of Spring, the painting shows nine figures from classical mythology striding across a flowering meadow, in front of a forest of orange and laurel trees. In the right foreground, Zephyrus embraces and fertilises the nymph Clori, depicted a little further on in the guise of Flora, goddess of blossom. Dominating the centre of the composition, slightly set back, are the goddess of love and beauty Venus, chastely dressed, and Cupid, depicted blindfolded as he fires his love dart. Dancing in a circle on the left are the three Graces, minor benevolent deities close to Venus, and the composition is closed by Mercury, the messenger of the gods wearing a helmet and winged shoes, who touches a cloud with his caduceus. Although the complex meaning of the composition remains mysterious, the work celebrates love, peace and prosperity.

It is not every day that one receives a parade shield with a Medusa painted by Caravaggio as a gift. This, however, is what happened to Ferdinand I Grand Duke of Tuscany (1549-1609) on 25 July 1598.

We all know the legend. Medusa had been transformed by Athena into a monster whose hair was a tangle of vipers and whose gaze petrified every living thing. However, the hero Perseus defeated her, managing to avoid her gaze. And Caravaggio made her immortal, in this splendid circular painting.

You can see it at the Uffizi in Florence.

Grape harvesting in Tuscany usually takes place between September and October and has been one of the most exciting events in country life since ancient times.

In Tuscany, the grape harvest is the most evocative moment to visit a farm and its vineyards. One feels like a participant with the farmer and his family in this fascinating event in which the process of making good wine begins.

Tourists often ask when the grape harvest takes place, but it is not possible to establish this in advance, because every year you have to wait for the moment when the grapes reach the right degree of ripeness. But if you are lucky enough to be in Tuscany during the grape harvest, we assure you it will be the most magical experience of your life.

San Galgano, the power of ruins.

San Galgano Abbey is a crumbling Cistercian abbey in the municipality of Chiusdino (Siena), of which only the walls are visible today. It is an unusual destination: an open-air abbey, inside which you can see the Hermitage of Montesiepi, that is linked to a fascinating story. It is said, in fact, that the knight Galgano Guidotti, after a life of debauchery, dedicated himself to penitence and hermitism right on the hill of Montesiepi, where he drove his sword into the ground. You can still admire it today inside the hermitage. Visiting the abbey is even more fascinating at sunset or nightfall, when it offers truly unique suggestions.

The world is full of copies of Michelangelo's David. In Florence you can see the original, but there are reproductions all over the world, from London to Kentucky. In Florence alone you will find two, one in Piazza della Signoria and one at Piazzale Michelangelo.

Did you know that it weighs almost 6 tonnes and has been damaged several times over the years?
The worst accident was on 26 April 1527 when in Florence, as a mob of rioters threw furniture at the soldiers outside the Palazzo Vecchio, a chair hit David's left arm and broke it in three places. No plaster for him, but three copper nails and he was as good as new.
The last incident was in 1991 when a madman destroyed a toe on his left foot with a hammer. The toe was also later reconstructed.

Green hills and cities of art. Tuscany is not only the cradle of the Italian Renaissance, but also one of the most fascinating regions in Italy, with its lush countryside and charming medieval villages. Not to mention the thousand-year-old traditions that live on even in the largest urban realities. But which cities in Tuscany are not to be missed?

"A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not."
- Leonardo da Vinci

The Annunciation is widely believed to be an early work by Leonardo da Vinci, executed when the master was still in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio. The traditional sacred theme is placed by Leonardo in a naturalistic and earthly setting: the angel has a concrete corporeity, suggested by the shadow cast on the lawn and the rendering of the drapery that presupposes studies from life. Even his wings take inspiration from those of some mighty bird of prey. The rendering of the twilight light is extraordinary, shaping the forms, unifying the scene and making the dark silhouettes of the trees stand out against the distant landscape of the background, dominated by the muted tones so dear to the artist.

Crossing Piazza Duomo you will suddenly find yourself in a vortex, a cold breeze that turns into intense wind. Behind this phenomenon lies an ancient legend, called “Rifrullo of the Devil”.

⛪️ It is said that a long time ago, the Devil chased a priest through the streets of Florence, trying as hard as he could to steal his soul. Once in front of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the man told the Devil that he wanted to pray one last time before suffering eternal damnation.
The Devil agreed and leaned against the cathedral, waiting for the priest to come out. The priest took advantage of this moment of ingenuity to escape, using another of the doors of the Cathedral. Meanwhile, Satan, bored from the long wait, began to snore, thereby creating a slight breeze. Once he discovered the deception, his breath of evil turned into a veritable whirlwind.

🌪 Since then, the Rifrullo of the Devil has never ceased blowing: the Devil’s breath still waits in vain for his chosen bait to come out of the church...

"Venus favors the bold"
- Ovid

The Venus of Urbin is one of Titian's most famous paintings. It portrays an emblematic figure of a young bride about to be dressed to take part in the celebration of the rite known in Venice as "toccamano", "the touch-hand". It was a domestic and non-ecclesiastical ceremony where the young women requested in marriage, touching the hand of the bridegroom, expressed their consent to the wedding. Titian takes the cue to paint a seductive Venus following an iconography born in the early Renaissance.

“Prepare yourselves
for the roaring voice of the God of Joy!”
― Euripides, The Bacchae

A leading figure in Rome in the 1610s of the artistic revolution which swept across Europe, in this painting Caravaggio demonstrates a masterful naturalistic portrayal of still life. His depiction of the basket of fruit and the cup of wine proffered by the god is surprising, with such elements interpreted by some critics as a Horatian invitation to frugality, conviviality and friendship. The sculpted figure of Bacchus with a stunned expression due to inebriation reproduces models of the classical art, in particular the portraits of Antinous, and is instilled with a languid sensuality. In the painting we can see antiquity celebrating the freedom of senses, as well as a reference to the Bacchic costumes and initiation rites practiced in Rome.

It’s the Clock with Heads of Prophets for the Florence Cathedral, a witness to the genius and creativity of the Renaissance.

In many ways, it symbolises the Renaissance spirit, since this was a time when both science and art grew and evolved. And the Florence Cathedral clock is one of those rarest of things: it’s both a scientific instrument and a work of art. The clock is located over the main entrance of the famous cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. It was built to mark the 'ora Italica' (Italian hour), which means the time from sunrise to sunset.
The clock’s main purpose was to mark the hours of prayer, for the chanting of the Divine Office, and is a painted fresco in a square shape, by the painter Paolo Uc***lo.

If you walk to Palazzo Vecchio, in Piazza della Signoria, you will notice a small graffiti to the right of the entrance.
No, it was not the usual vandals, but Michelangelo himself - who did anything but spoil the monuments! The story goes that Buonarroti was often stopped in the square by an annoying passerby who never stopped chatting. I guess you all know the type. One day, while Michelangelo was listening to one of the man's long monologues, he decided to pass the time by sculpting a face with his hand behind his back!

For obvious reasons, Michelangelo's graffiti is known by the Florentines as "l'importuno", the importunate.

Have you ever visited Santa Margherita de' Cerchi?
For fans of Italian literature and especially the great Dante Alighieri, this church will be the most interesting site in the whole of Florence (alongside Dante’s house, of course). Tiny and hidden between huge buildings, the Church of Santa Margherita de’ Cerchi dates back to the 11th century. It is here that Dante met his true love Beatrice. The Santa Margherita de’ Cerchi church is where one of the greatest love stories described in literature began.

🌼 The Botticelli Spring is among the most famous painting in the world, and an icon of the Italian Renaissance.
But do you know every secret about it?

This painting has been called a “mythological riddle”, because the critics haven’t agreed on one single interpretation. Botticelli might be recreating a pagan ritual, a feast to celebrate the arrival of Spring. Alternatively it could be an ode to Beauty, a quality that brings men closer to God according to neoplatonism. It might be that he’s just celebrating Florence, the city of flowers, and the ruling Medici family, alluding to the marriage of one of their members.
Come and see it in person in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

Celebrate Dante's 700th anniversary in Florence!

Born in Florence in 1265, Dante wrote his verses in the vernacular, opting for Tuscan dialect in an era when poetry was generally composed in Latin. In spite of everything, he decided to make literature most accessible to the public. Dante is best known for his poetic trilogy La Divina Commedia, or The Divine Comedy, an epic masterpiece which depicts an expedition in the afterlife.
