Going Tuscan
Before you come to Tuscany,
become Tuscan: cook truffles freshly found,
cheer at the Palio as a riderless horse
wins again, sip the new Brunello while you
watch yet another beautiful sunset and don't
forget to harvest the olives.
This is what it means
to live in or even just visit Tuscany. In
Going Tuscan, we share a bit of our experience
with you and hope you will too. If you have
a story or article to submit, contact Paolo

Survival
Tips for Tuscan Travel
Whether your 1st time overseas or a seasoned traveller,
these few tips will help make your Tuscan holiday go
smoothly.
Colors
What do the colors of Siena say to you? Is it the ochre
of the earth or yellow of summer wheat?
Tuscan
Faces
Most people come here for the beautiful views and
incredible history. If you want to find the real Tuscany,
you need to look into the faces. That's where the character
of the land is kept.
Fusing
Art
In a small Podere just behind the church from the English
Patient, this author learns to fuse bronze and Italian
life.
Olive
Oil
In the first of a series, Mark Abouzeid discusses the
history of olive oil and its rise from "peasant
food" to "elite chic".
Truffle
Hunting
Have you ever been truffle hunting...well, neither has
the author but that was about to change.
Tuscan
Cuisine
The Tuscan diet is a seasonal one. When something is
in season, you eat it...boiled, baked, grilled and sauteed
asparagus.
Balloon
Flights
Personally recommended by us, “Ballooning in Tuscany”
can offer you a unique experience of a real Tuscany,
an old Tuscany, a Tuscany as yet almost untouched by
tourism. Their well-researched programme of ballooning,
walking, eating, and tasting in this delectable corner
of the province will leave you with treasured memories
to keep Tuscany fresh for you all year! See Tuscany
from the inside, from above, from ground level, from
the fields and lanes, from the farmyard and from the
kitchen.
