About the Work

The region of Tuscany in Italy is a sensory delight, having nurtured art and architecture from various eras, including Etruscan, Roman, Renaissance, and modern times. Ancient churches, which were once popular stops on nineteenth-century Grand Tours, still grace the squares of small towns. Rolling hills covered in wheat and colorful olive groves, that inspire authentic Tuscan cuisine, are dotted with villas built by the prestigious Medici family. The Tyrrhenian Sea extends off its coast, caressing the shore of Elba, the island where the emperor Napoleon was exiled. Quaint villages, historic towns, and bustling cities are scattered across its varied landscape. Tuscany is the place of dreams, where thousands come to relive its history and take in the beauty of the region.

In the fashion world, Florence has been the source of inspiration for Ferragamo, Gucci, and Pucci. However, Tuscany's timeless nature truly defines it. Masterpieces from centuries past still draw immense crowds, and Brunelleschi's dome in Florence never fails to impress onlookers.
