Tuscany ~ Cortona
From the innovations of the Etruscans to the enlightenment of the Renaissance, Tuscany is a region steeped in history and human achievement. The charming village of Cortona is home for the duration from which you’ll discover the many treasures of this celebrated land. In the Umbria region, explore tranquil Assisi, home to the exquisite Basilica of St. Francis, and mediaeval Perugia, the well-preserved jewel of Umbria. Journey to tiny Montepulciano, set in the heart of Chianti country, and in Siena navigate the narrow cobblestone streets lined with Gothic buildings, visit the Gaia Fountain, the Mangia Tower, and the Duomo. Spend a day in Florence, the Cradle of the Renaissance, and experience its brilliant artistic and architectural heritage.
