I am by no means an art expert, but I do like art. Choosing a work of art to talk about for the third post in the Italy Blogging Roundtable was not easy but I suddenly realized the choice was obvious.
Most travelers to Tuscany don’t venture outside the major landmarks.This region, though, has much to offer beyond the popular spots. If you are ready to venture off the beaten path and see more than what you find on guidebooks, you will go home with a completely different image of this amazing region.
A great park just outside the center of the city, and a nice walk away from the crowds of the major sites. Also, home to the second leaning tower in the city!
My favourite street in the city: beautiful buildings, an imposing medieval church, excellent restaurants, popular pubs, very interesting locals, and several peculiar stores.
It is not always true that the off-the-beaten-path attractions in a city are smaller or more modest buildings. The imposing Church of San Francesco is hardly included in self-guided tours of Pisa, let alone the guided tours. Yet it is one of the most beautiful churches in Tuscany, with a wealth of treasures to discover and enjoy.
Located outside the major tourist routes in the city, Piazza San Silvestro has an ancient and glorious history. It contains a beautiful church and a former convent, now housing one of the most modern and advanced laboratories for nanotechnology research.
Some people believe that there is no such thing as “off-the-beaten-path Tuscany”, and yet, most people don’t know anything about the Abbazia Ardenghesca.
This blog is written by a born and bred Tuscan who wishes to share her love for this region with as many people as possible. It's about living here, but also about travelling, learning, experiencing, and enjoying life in Tuscany.
It's about feeling at home in Tuscany.
A wonderful opportunity for the independent traveller seeking privacy and a pleasant atmosphere
