Features: About Tuscany, Italy, the legendary Browning once wrote, "The air here seems to penetrate your heart." Of course, more than the air can penetrate is its reputation as the birthplace of the Renaissance. Tens of thousands of British people choose Tuscany as their vacation destination, perhaps because only here can it wash away the dullness of British style. This book will take you to explore 61 ancient towns with the most Tuscany charm, allowing you to fully experience the mixed magic of wine and olive trees—perhaps this is the secret of Tuscany, it always inspires people's deepest passions. The ancient towns of Tuscany, Italy, are scattered like stars around Lucca, Prato in the north, Arezzo in the east, Siena in the center, Pisa in the west, and Marsamorterra in the south. They are either nestled in the land and hills or on the plains, each town hidden among cypress forests, olive groves, and vineyards. The process of reading about these ancient towns, which have a Renaissance cultural background and medieval landscapes, is actually a multi-dimensional journey of understanding the Italian national sentiment and spirit. This book carefully selects and introduces 61 of the most famous classic ancient towns in Tuscany, Italy, for Chinese tourists. If visitors walk into these small towns surrounding the big cities, they will find that although they lack the fame of the big cities, they embody the most typical Italian architecture and the purest way of life.
