Culture
The green region in northwest Italy offers cultural and gastronomic experiences in the world. And looking you up in the mountains, waiting for a great and different experience with Tuscany's historic marble quarry near the town of Carrara
Green valleys and olive groves. Art, wine and gastronomic experiences. Tuscany is the most quintessential of a resort for pleasure seekers. It's also hard not to thrilled when after a few hours' flight to Florence from Copenhagen finally get acquainted with temperatures of plus 30 and green, rolling hills with miles of grapevines, when nature is in bloom. Most airlines fly today to Florence from Copenhagen, and we paid good 8000 dollars for four people, tour / ticket. We moved for 14 days at the winery Poggio al Sole (Solbakken) from the 1500s, owned and operated by family Baronti that in the corresponding fields both grow Chianti wines, olive oil and the lovely dessert wine Vino Santo (holy wine). The winery is decorated with six apartments and large swimming pool and is located on a hilltop with beautiful views of the vineyards on all sides. Poggio al Sole apartments can be rented from home via the Danish company Tuscany Residential. The apartments costs around 4,000 dollars per. week and houses from two and up to six people. The winery has address approximately five kilometers from the town of Vinci, located 40 km from Florence in the east and 40km from Pisa in the west. Although there is much in Vinci, who is best known for hosting the Leonardo de Vinci's childhood home, then the small town with its central location in Tos cana an excellent starting point to explore as much of the region in the rented car from the airport, as we now have the energy at two week vacation. To the west lures the seaside friendly Versiliakyst, while the region's many medieval towns in the valleys and hills invite for major art experiences from the Renaissance, shopping of shoes, clothes and bags and culinary adventures around almost every corner. This is especially true in Florence.
Another great experience is to taste the Chianti wines, but also to come south to Montalcino and the world famous red wine Brunello di Montalcino. With hundreds of wineries in the Montalcino region's enough to explore all the senses. To the northwest raises the dramatic Alpi Apuane mountains in the countryside. The many valleys and chestnut in this mountain range makes the area perfect for hiking. drainer But it is also here that Tuscany's white gold, the world-famous marble, being broken in the hillsides, as is done now several hundred years. Marble has given the inhabitants of the town of Carrara, just north of Pisa, permanent employment for hundreds of years and make it clearly still. From the highway you see in roadsides huge blocks of marble, as huge blocks of cheese is ready to be transported to the port and ship out into the world from Marina di Carrara. Marble is a limestone that were formed millions of years ago of dead shellfish and algae, which sank to the ocean floor. Through the ages, they have been crowded together so closely that they formed a thick layer of lime, which was later transformed into limestone. Jordpladernes movement has pushed the limestone up, and therefore there are marble quarries in the mountains today. drainer The most familiar type of marble is just Carrara marble, as neoclassical sculptors used for their sculptures. Both Michelangelo and Danish Bertel Thorvaldsen were artists who used the relatively soft Carrara marble, which are well suited to be crushed without splintering. Carrara In other words, center of the world, when it comes to marble, which with 300 quarries are still a very active field marble. Carrara marble has made significant white mark across the otherwise drainer green Tuscany. Romans from Caesar Augustus time sultanate fell adorned their houses with marble from Carrara. It has been used in palaces and churches and decorations in floors, walls and ceilings in homes. Florence be visited when in Tuscany. There is great art, gastronomy drainer is top notch, and if you like shopping, there is arguably everything your heart desires. But have you been in Carrara, closes drainer the visit to the regional capital also up for new insights. For it is clear to see how big a role Carrara marble playing for several of Florence's architectural gems, including the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and Italy's largest Franciscan Santa Croce, where there are grave monuments, also in marble, for historical celebrities which among other Galileo Galilei, Niccolò Machiavelli and Dante Alighieri.
