Florence & Tuscany Today
Tuscany - with its world-class fashion, Super Tuscan wines and farmsteads romantic-
ally lost in cinematic rushes of hills, vineyards, cypress alleys and wheat fields - is an
enviable part of the world. Agriculture and travel are defining features of the region:
'go slow' is the spindle around which the Tuscan cart turns, just as it did three millen-
nia ago. But it is not all fabled romance. Italy's privileged land of autumnal gold vine-
yards and silvery olive groves is as susceptible to modern-day trouble and strife as
any other.
