Culture
Walking along the streets of Florence, rightfully called the cradle of the Renaissance, is an unforgettable experience and it is impossible not to be captivated by the magical atmosphere of its monuments and architectural structures laden with history and meaning.

Nestled in a picturesque, hilly landscape, the city of Siena has an immense cultural heritage which places it in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO.

Arezzo is a beautiful city that still bears the marks of its ancient Etruscan origins and its historical center is indeed of great artistic and cultural interest. The Chianti can be reached through the Chiantigiana, the road that winds and climbs hills in the shadow of many castles and beautiful towns as Gaiole, Radda, Castellina and Greve in Chianti. These small towns are famous for their handicraft products, for their history and the prestigious wine cellars. Many of these wineries are open to the public for tastings and purchases. The Valdarno, although less known, offers interesting historical sites and museums of particular value as the Museum of Sculpture of Cassero in Montevarchi and the Sacred Art of Masaccio in Cascia (Reggello).
