Tuscany - Rebecca Ford

Footprint's full-colour guide to Tuscany takes you to the home to rolling hills and vineyards, sunflowers and cypress trees, atmospheric alleyways and historic towns, and of course Florence; the birthplace of the Renaissance. Then there are the exquisite hill towns, such as Cortona, medieval Siena and the perfectly preserved Lucca and Arezzo. The list of world class sights in endless, from Pisa's Leaning Tower to San Gimignano's medieval 'skyscrapers'.
