Author Description

Gently undulating hills, vineyards, cypresses and olive groves -- the familiar image of Tuscany. Look further and you will see that those soothing pastoral landscapes collide with the sheer rock faces of the soaring Apennines and Casentino mountains on one side, and meander into the wild and desolate Maremma on the other. This book with its 161 glorious colour photographs accompanies the reader and lover of Tuscany on a remarkable journey through a beautiful region harbouring some of Europe's most precious cultural treasures.
