We traveled to Tuscany in September-October of 2018 to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. To be honest, we were both a little skeptical, as modern-day Italy seemed over-hyped and over-crowded. First, we spent four days in Florence, the art gallery of Italy. Ability to see world-renown treasures like David by Michelangelo, works of Rafael and collections of the Medici family, while traveling cobblestone streets to the riverbanks of the Arno river, and shops filled with Florentine paper, fragrant soaps, supple leather and beautiful ceramics made for days filled with wonder and beauty.
