ABOUT FLORENCE
Florence makes art-lovers' hearts beat double time. Fans of Renaissance art will feel giddy touring The Galleria dell'Accademia, which is bursting with works by Michelangelo. Architecture buffs can admire the ancient Ponte Vecchio bridge, while serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Fuel your exploration with restaurants that pay homage to the region?s bounty. When you swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil, you'll understand how sublime Tuscan food can be.
ABOUT CORTONA
Cortona is a small, welcoming town in the mountains between the Valdichiana and the Tiber valley. It was such an important Etruscan center that the existence of ancient settlements is still visible today, with its two kilometers of walls dating back to the fifth century BC. The village is particularly picturesque due to its typically medieval architecture, consisting of ancient palazzos, narrow cobbled streets, small artisan shops and classic Tuscan trattorias. If you are in the historical center, the beautiful Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built in 1456, is a must-see. In 1480, the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini began constructing the sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie in Calcinaio, just outside the city.
