Tuscany Map Map description
Massa Carrara MASSA CARRARA The Province of Massa Carrara is situated in the northernmost part of Tuscany, not far from well-known places such as the Golfo dei Poeti, the “Cinque Terre” and Tuscan art cities like Lucca, Florence and Pisa. Here, nature has created a perfect harmony between land and sea. The Apuan Alps, famous for their marble quarries, overlo Lucca LUCCA A favourable location on the plain at the foot of the first spurs of Apennines and an abundance of water seem to have been the reason for the foundation of the city by the Romans in 180 BC. The rectangular grid of its historical centre preserves the Roman street plan. Nowadays the church of San Michele, named, because of its Roman origin, San Mich Pistoia PISTOIA A Roman colony, used as military stronghold against the Ligurian tribes living in the nearby Apennines, Pistoia developed because of the road network. In fact the opening of a new stretch of Via Cassia (the consular road linking Rome with the Etruscan cities of the interior and Lunigiana) made it a junction of primary importance.

Prato PRATO Florence FLORENCE Just a few notes, intended, not for the ordinary tourist but, for the wise traveller, ready to relish the town, to capture that special flavour which will urge him to return in the future, so as to add a new tessera to the never-ending mosaic of Florence. Let us start from the town's religious hub and enjoy the great visual impact of the dramatic dome of Arezzo AREZZO Today a city of goldsmiths and antiquarians, in effect its monthly antique fair is the most important in Italy, Arezzo also attracts numerous tourists with the annual revival of the medieval tradition of the “Giostra del Saracino”, Joust of the Saracen.
But actually Arezzo is much more than that.

Siena SIENA Like most Tuscan hill towns, Siena was founded by the Etruscans. According to legend, however, it had Roman origins having been founded by Senius, son of Remus, thus the town’s emblem: a she-wolf suckling the infants Romulus and Remus. Since it was not situated on any of the major roads and had no possibility for trade, Siena had to await the inva Grosseto GROSSETO Grosseto lies in the south west of Tuscany, in the area known as the Alta Maremma. It is first mentioned in the 9th century as the fief of a noble family, the Aldobrandeschi. It grew in importance over the years with the decline of the Etruscan town of Rusellæ, whose ruins can still be admired at about five miles from the to Pisa PISA Pisa’s origins are controversial: proposed founders are the Ligurians, the Etruscans, the Greeks and the Romans. Its history tends to dissolve into mythology: it might have taken part in the war of Troy. Nevertheless its connexion with the 2nd Punic war is a historical event which laid the foundation of its subsequent naval and military power and of its role of “guardian” of the T Leghorn LEGHORN Situated on the southern edge of the vast plain of the Arno River, Livorno was exposed to frequent raids from the sea and to the problems of a territory largely consisting of ponds and marshes. It was for a long time just a landing place. Archaeological investigations reveal the existence of a scant settlement near Castiglioncello, bringing to light an interesting
