Just as travelers trust me as a Tuscan native to design their custom-made trips in the region, I place my trust in locals to keep me up to date on recent developments and their stories —comic, colorful, sad, controversial—that I might have otherwise missed.
Paolo il Pescatore
Paolo Fanciulli is not just a man who loves the sea; he’s proud of his Tuscan origins, the land that formed him. He speaks from his heart, with no filters
Marco Tozzi
Equally handsome as Marcello Mastroianni, probably even more so, my brother Marco was suddenly forced to leave his dolce vita behind.
Santino
From the late Middle Ages through the 1970s, cultivating land in Tuscany was regulated by mezzadria, an antiquated system of crop-sharing between landowner and farmer.
Antonietta’s Pici
When you drive from Siena to Torrita di Siena, and from there to the Val d’Orcia along a picturesque winding road, you will see a little sign on your left indicating the turn to Montefollonico.
Fausto
Fausto was, and still is, one of my brother’s best friends. Besides memories of their juvenile adventures, they share a genuinely deep love of Tuscan traditions, dedicated to preserving the original flavors and essences of our homeland.
