"Regarding art, Tuscany is not a region nor a continent. For art, Tuscany is an entire world.

We "Toscani", from birth breath art, our daily life is art, it is difficult to explain. For us it is normal to go outside our houses and find ourselves passing places which millions of people travel for hours to see just once in their lives.
Therefore we will not try to write about something which is not possible to describe but which is possible to see."
