Though Tuscany goes back to the Bronze Age - its name is taken from the Etruscan civilization, which settled in the area around 1000 BC - this former grand duchy is indelibly linked to the Medicis, who ruled it until 1737, and the rennaisance they helped foster from the 14th century onwards.It was the works of Dante, one of Tuscany’s most famous sons, Petrach and Boccaccio that helped kick start this unparalled movement of art and intellectual energy. By the 18th century Tuscany had passed into the hands of the Lorenas, who reigned until 1859. A clever and liberal family, they further enhanced Tuscany’s position as one of the countries richest regions. It remained a centre of culture and politics and Florence was even the seat of Government for five years before Rome took over the mantle in 1870. Despite this, its special place in Italian history and culture remains as strong as ever.
Florence has preserved its masterpieces and great works of architecture over the centuries. The most important collection of paintings in the world is offered by the Uffizi Gallery; visitors can enter the very interesting Designs and Print Room; the collection of self-portraits. Great paintings can be seen in the Gallery of Palazzo Pitti, with Tiziano’s and Raffaello’s masterpieces. Florence also has the Museum of the Costume and the Museum of the Carriages; the beautiful Italian gardens can be admired in the Giardino di Boboli. In the Museum of the Opera del Duomo the famous "Pietà" by Michelangelo can be admired. Then, there are the Museum of the Bargello, St. Mark’s Museum, the Academy Gallery and the Ethnologic Museum Stibbert. Pisa, an ancient Roman naval base and maritime republic, has the Museum of the Sinopie, which holds the preparatory drawings for the frescoes, and the National Museum of St. Matteo. Siena is a well-preserved medieval city; here there are the Civic Museum, which houses the Histories of Alexander III, the Museum of the Opera Metropolitana and the Pinacoteca Nazionale, with Senese painting. Tradition and art are strong everywhere: in Arezzo the Gallery and the Medieval and Modern Museum can be visited.
The main characteristic of Tuscan cooking is its healthy balance. Being Meditarranean in flavor and style, ingredients such as Olive oil, pasta, fish and first choice meat take pride of place. These are basic ingredients that are simply cooked and retain their original goodness and freshness. Some of Tuscany's regional specialities include: Green lasagne made with spinach; tortellini home-made pasta stuffed with ground meat; scaloppe alla bolognese veal scallops; prosciutto crudo Parma raw ham, salami; cheese: parmigiano reggiano
In addition to art, Tuscany offers outstanding nature sceneries, such as the National Park of the Argentario and the Isola of Elba. In Siena there is the beautiful Piazza del Campo. In Florence there are the fifteenth-century shops on the Ponte Vecchio. Pisa has the Campo dei Miracoli, with the famous Leaning Tower.
