The Italian region of Tuscany is a feast for all senses. A creative incubator that has cultivated art and architecture for eras including Etruscan, Roman, Renaissance and modern times. Timeworn churches, once stops on nineteenth-century Grand Tours, stand tall in the towns’ piazzas. Rolling hills of wheat and colorful olive groves, that inspire authentic Tuscan cuisine, are dotted with villas built by the prestigious Medici family. The Tyrrhenian Sea extends off its coast, lapping the shore of Elba, the island where the emperor Napoleon was exiled. Quaint villages, historic towns and bustling cities are scattered across its landscape, which is almost as varied as the communities themselves. From annual horse races at Piazza del Campo, and the centuries-old winemaking traditions of the Chianti region to the city of Pisa, an ancient Maritime Republic known for the youthful spirit of its Scuola Normale Superiore and Leaning Tower alike, Tuscany is the place of dreams, where thousands come to relive its history and take in the beauty of a region.
In the fashion world, Ferragamo, Gucci and Pucci all have ties to Florence and its endless inspiration. However, what truly defines Tuscany is its timelessness. Masterpieces from centuries past still lure immense crowds. Brunelleschi’s dome in Florence never fails to strike onlookers with awe.

Lido
En savoir +ReserveIcon-Icon Opinion :
The island, where the Mostra (Venice Film Festival) is held, presents another side of the Venetian way of living — there is a private beach and palaces but more importantly an atmosphere more detached from the vibrant Venice…
Experience : Lido
Address : 30126 Venezia Lido, Venezia VE
Description :
The architecture of the Lido is strongly influenced by the Venetian architectural style. In addition to the carefully managed beaches and resorts of the island strip, many businesses point to the location of the important film festival, so the design of the place has been strongly oriented in this direction.
