Toskánsko - Travel Guide (2020)

Did you know that about 60% of the world's most important artworks are located in Italy, and nearly half of those in Florence? It's incredible, but it should be true. Estimates are based on UNESCO statistical data, and its employees should have accurate information on this. The gourmet specialties and wine of Florence and Tuscany should definitely appeal to any art lover. This region is home to unique destinations such as Arezzo, Pisa, Siena, Lucca, Pienza, Montepulciano, Volterra, and also Livorno. However, Tuscany has become a coveted destination for many European tourists not only because of its art. Few regions in the world can boast such a rich offering for gourmets. The list of culinary specialties is long. In Tuscan cuisine, bread and pasta naturally play a leading role, and in addition, delicious dishes based on local ingredients such as truffles, bacon, and chestnuts are also served. More details on this topic can be found on page 36. When mentioning food products, wine must not be omitted from this list. Between the coast and the Chianti region, an increasing number of winemakers adhere to organic farming principles, resulting in excellent wines.
