The Charm of Tuscany

关于目的地: 如今，佛罗伦萨的羊毛和丝绸商人和银行家彻底改变了13世纪托斯卡纳的经济，而丹特和米开朗基罗的艺术震惊了世界。佛罗伦萨是意大利文艺复兴的中心。在其看似无穷无尽的博物馆，教堂和宫殿中，城市重生的成果仍然很明显。其历史悠久的市中心被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产，大教堂是优雅而美丽的大教堂，在城市中占据主导地位，是您漫游的明确参考点。亚诺河（River Arno）穿过城市最古老的部分，加上建有商店的高桥（Ponte Vecchio）桥和高跷。它的历史可以追溯到14世纪，是二战期间唯一幸存下来的桥梁。晚上站在河边，当城市被无数闪烁的灯光照亮时，是难以忘怀的。但佛罗伦萨无比的遗产比石头和油漆更多，这座城市不屈不挠的精神也存活了几个世纪，确保佛罗伦萨今天的生活充满活力和精致。

关于目的地: The city of Pisa once rivalled Genoa and Venice as a maritime power, emulated Padua and Perugia as a university town, and developed a distinctive style of Romanesque architecture. Today, the city draws its fame from an architectural project gone terribly wrong and relies on the tide of tourists who flow into the city every day. The most important monuments are concentrated in the piazza del Duomo. The baptistery, cathedral, Leaning Tower, and Camposanto shine like carved ivory, rising out of a broad expanse of emerald green grass. The duomo contains Giovanni Pisano’s masterful pulpit, with its violently dramatic Gothic reliefs. You can make your unbalanced way to the top of the Torre Pendente, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, from which local boy Galileo Galilei dropped a variety of objects in his attempt to understand gravity. Education has fuelled the local economy since the 1400s, and students from across Italy still compete for places in its elite university and research schools and help keep a vibrant and affordable cafe and bar scene. This metropolis of a hundred thousand inhabitants is much more than a tower, is a city full of art and history.

关于目的地: The small town of San Gimignano has a medieval origin as well shows its spectacular wall, is perched on the hills of Tuscany, village is located only 35 minutes drive from Siena and Florence, so any tourist who has thought to go to one of the two cities can pass by the wonder of this village. Since in addition in 1990, UNESCO declared the historic centre of San Gimignano patrimony of the humanity, is very particular mainly by its medieval architecture especially for its towers. It also transpires that the village was a point of pilgrimage for people that it was heading to Rome.
