The hills of Tuscany

Florence and Siena, are situated antique, well
preserved, medieval localities. A visit is sufficient to start a journey
into the past. Here you can find the good
culinary tradition with its
typical products such as cold cuts, in olive oil inserted vegetables and
excellent wines.
