Tuscany in the palm of your hand:
This tour is an immersion in medieval and Renaissance Italy, and in its mesmerizing Cities of Art, picturesque hamlets and landscapes that have inspired so many travelers and artists throughout the centuries. It includes also fascinating Jewish sites several of which in quite unusual places.
You will be visiting many world famous towns such as FLORENCE, PISA, SIENA and LUCCA with their wonders, but also less known ones such as CARRARA the town of the renowned white marble where you will also be visiting the quarries where Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci selected the blocks of marble they used to sculpt their famous masterpieces. Not to mention the incredibly picturesque towns, many of which are part of the Unesco Heritage List, such as SAN GIMIGNANO, VOLTERRA and CORTONA and the smaller Jewish heritage sites of PITIGLIANO, known as the “little Jerusalem”, and MONTE SAN SAVINO. We have also included in the tour a location worth visiting for its significance in relation to a tragic event in WW2, SANT’ANNA DI STAZZEMA. Last, but not least, you will enjoy a balmy day on the famous Italian EASTERN LIGURIAN RIVIERA where you will discover the medieval fishing villages of LERICI, which, believe it or not, used to have a Jewish ghetto, and lovely RIOMAGGIORE. A boat cruise will take you to the famed CINQUE TERRE where a stop on land will allow you to discover this star attraction.
