Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The good traveller is a sage. He does not allow himself to be carried away by the desire to see everything... He won't deny himself the luxury of deviating from his route, of making unforeseen incursions, of "wasting" an afternoon sipping a glass of wine, or watching the sun go down over the vineyards of Chianti or, in the Maremma, over the sea. Anyone unwilling to do at least one of these things would do better not to come travelling in Tuscany. In fact, he would do better not to travel at all. Franco Cardini's journey through Tuscany takes the reader on an exploration, following in the traces of memory, of the "most touching landscape in the world," and reconstructs the events of the past that have forged the proud identity of its people. Between mountains cloaked in forests and traversed by ancient roads, variegated coasts of sand and rock, hills cultivated with wines and olives and unspoiled oases of nature, the fascinating journey is studded with visits to its superb cities and precious towns, testimonies to the immense artistic heritage that has made this land unique.
