| Tuscany, Toscana in Italian, was already populated in the 7th century BC by the Etruscians. By 241 BC Romans had built the Aurelia, a road from Rome to Pisa that is still in use today. By 1555, Tuscan cities were united under Florence to form the grand duchy of Tuscany. Considered by many to be the most beautiful region of Italy, with its hills, mountains, miles of superb beaches, olive trees and vineyards, Tuscany provides breathtaking views everywhere you look. |
