Editori dell'Acero A "photografic journey" among the most beautiful places and landscapes of Tuscany required us to face the difficult task of choosing the most interesting and significant subjects to be immortalised. Since we wanted to give our route an organic structure, we divided it into four large areas which cover almost the entire territory of Tuscany. The obvious starting place is Florence, with its land that reflects the taste for measure and balance of its chief town. The second itinerary features the area which goes from the Lunigiana, crossing Lucca, touching Pisa, Volterra and Livorno, and then reaching Pistoia, Prato, the Mugello, the Pratomagno, the Casentino, Arezzo and the Valdichiana. The thirt part presents Sienna and its land, where the Valdelsa stands out along with the pearl of San Gimignano, the Val di Merse with San Galgano, the Chianti, the "Crete" and the Valdorcia with their landscapes and their beautiful centres. The journey ends in the vast land of the Maremma, from the heights of the Colline Metallifere to the coast, on to inland tuff made centres, ending on the slopes of Mount Amiata.
