TUSCANY
Located in central Italy,
Tuscany includes some among the main cultural, artistic and environmental destinations in Italy
The territory is characterized by mountains in the East and North, among them the Alpi Apuane, rich of the renowned white marble, and wide hilly areas throughout the central part, covered with olive plantations, vineyards and sunflowers.
The plain territories along the coast, Versilia and Maremma, once unhealthy and marshy, were reclaimed in the early 20th century and offer now landscapes of great natural beauty. The very large plain called Valdarno, going from Florence to the mouth of the Arno river, is one of the most attractive art areas of Italy.
Modern agriculture systems make Tuscany among the first producers in Italy of sunflowers, tobacco, potatoes, vegetables and olives. As far as industry is concerned, the region has a variety of well-managed, small and medium sized industries in the most different sectors.
