Tuscany region

The Ten Provinces of Tuscany :

Tuscany extends over the heart of central Italy.  This region is very varied with hills and vast plains and imposing mountainous massifs dominated by the ridges of the Apennines and by the summits of the Apuan Alps. The extinct volcano, Mount Amiata, stands between the provinces of Siena and Grosseto.  The Tuscan coastline is more than 300 km long and has rocky coasts and headlands alternating with long stretches of beaches backed by pine woods.  In the South of Tuscany is the Maremma area. This wild, unspoiled area is protected by Nature Reserves and the islands of Capraia, Elba and il  Giglio  are nearby.

As well as the beauty of its landscape Tuscany is famous for the works of art contained within its cities. Tuscany has six locations which are on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites - Florence’s historic centre, Siena’s historic centre, Pisa’s cathedral square, San Gimignano’s historic centre, Pienza’s historic centre and the entire Val d’Orcia.  Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, Pistoia, Prato, Massa, Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno are the capitals of the provinces.
