From Montecatini

Florence Treasures
Known as the 'Cradle of the Italian Renaissance,' Florence is a city with overwhelming historical and cultural significance. Take a walking tour of the city center and take in the magnificent Cathedral, its huge dome and elegant Campanile piercing the sky. See the famous bronze doors by Ghiberti, adorning the marble-encrusted Baptistery. Visit the Academy of Fine Arts and stand in awe in front of the statue of David by Michelangelo. Walk across the impressive Piazza della Signoria and find yourself in front of the grand Palazzo Vecchio.

Splendors of Tuscany
Poplar-studded landscapes, dramatic hilltop towns, and gorgeous vineyards await you. Visit Siena, a medieval city of twisting streets and narrow stairways that wind their way through medieval arches and past Renaissance palaces. See the beautifully striped Cathedral and the Piazza del Campo, setting for the unique Palio, a medieval-style horse race. Continue to San Gimignano, perhaps the most famous little town in Italy, its skyline dominated by ancient stone towers. Sample wines at a family wine estate in this renowned region.

Historic Lucca and Pisa
Two proud old Italian cities wreathed in past glories. Lucca is rich in art and history. Massive red brick walls enclose the city, making it one of the best preserved Renaissance defenses in Europe, and the remains of an amphitheater can be seen as you walk the ancient walls. Continue to Pisa, a city with splendid architecture and a fascinating history. Visit the Field of Miracles, home to the buildings that recall Pisa's past grandeur and see the famous Leaning Tower.
