A few pictures from my recent visit to the delightful and picturesque landscapes of Tuscany. This region of Italy has a unique culinary tradition, and is famous for its red wines such as Chianti and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

A doorway opposite the original spa baths, forming the piazza of mineral-rich and steamy (49C - 120F) waters, of beautiful Bagno Vignoni.

The front door of a resident of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Pienza; the global centre of Pecorino production, a hard and textured Italian cheese made from ewe's (sheep) milk. A good Pecorino Stagionato is often the finish of a Tuscan meal, served with pears and walnuts or drizzled with strong chestnut honey (very delicious).

Another amazing doorway of Pienza; this tiny town was an architectural marvel of its time, heralding the advent of Renaissance and still remains so, although these days it is slightly overrun with tourists.

Semproniano is an untouched comune in the Province of Grosseto in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 120 km south of Florence. Climbing to the top of this municipality a visitor will find the tiny Church of Santa Croce, faced by the remains of the Aldobrandeschi castle and this 3-wheeler parked outside the doorways of this Tucan village.
