The vivid, highly descriptive accounts of each village are accompanied by page after page of marvellous colour photographs. `Beautifully composed photographs ... graceful, knowledgeable text' - Country Living `Breathtaking photographs ... the riches and variety of Tuscany are laid out for all to see ... a well balanced, well presented and well written exploration of one of Italy's most beautiful regions' - Contemporary Review
