TUSCANY
If you are planning on visiting Tuscany, one of the Italian regions best-lovedby tourists from all countries, maybe you had better decide first just what itis you want to see. The cities of art, the museums, the magnificent medieval hamlets, the gentle countryside where rolling green hillsinstill peace and serenity, the long and many-faceted coastline, the Tuscan archipelago, a paradise for water sports buffs .... In truth, when you visit Tuscany you get two-for-one, since every city and every hamlet is surrounded bymagnificent natural scenery, and each offers something special you'll findnowhere else. On your visit to a city like Siena, for example, abounding inhistory and art, you will have the unique opportunity to admire the works ofBeccafumi, Lorenzetti and others - and then as you leave the city see exactlythe same landscapes that figure in the frescoes painted centuries ago by thegreat masters. The effect is unsettling to say the least.
