Tuscany: Layers of History

Registration Closes on December 15, 2024
There are few places on earth like Tuscany. Its landscape was painted by the great artists of the Renaissance. Its architecture is known for its sense of proportion, beauty and attention to minute detail. This experience will explore the very best parts of this famed region of Italy.
On the morning of Friday, May 28, our driver will pick us up in Florence. the cradle of the Renaissance and the capital of the region of Tuscany. We’ll head south, with a stop in the Chianti area to have lunch and taste some great wines before wending our way to the magnificent hilltop town of Cortona, our home base for the week, where we’ll stay at the beautiful and historic Hotel San Michele.
Subsequent days will find us in our private van, exploring and photographing spectacular locations like Arezzo, Anghiari, Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia, Montepulciano, and the Val d’Orcia, working to express the nuances of each of these important Tuscan towns and landscapes with our cameras.
