Visit Tuscany

It was the “natural way of life and agility, next to which we northerners look like marionettes” that inspired the author Hermann Hesse during his journey through Tuscany. But it was also the unique cultural treasures and the diverse natural landscapes, the picturesque villages and the special flair of the cities that impressed him – and that still cast a spell on numerous people year after year.
