The hilltop houses are painted a gentle yellow, with the occasional burst of bright terracotta which juxtaposes the rich green of the surrounding vegetation. Local markets brim with seasonal produce that form the basis of hearty Tuscan cuisine. In the cities, the hands of the great Brunelleschi leave their mark on facades and the streets are filled with the scent of leather, testament to the craft of the region’s skilled artisans.
