The week of culture in Tuscany, the events not to be missed in this fantastic region and what not to miss to eat to really feel in Tuscany!
Not everyone knows that 9 from October to 19 you can visit the Tuscany., taking advantage of ad hoc tourist packages and participating in free events, thanks to the initiative Culture week, promoted by the Region. During these days, the calendar of things to do in the Tuscan cities will be very rich: from classic tastings to exclusive concerts. Tour operators also have the opportunity to make discounts and offers available on the occasion of the event.
We are at the first edition, but the desire to share and enrich oneself through Tuscan culture is great and in fact a hashtag has been created to be able to better follow the event also from social networks: #coolt. Taking a look at the program on, you will see that it is truly vast and embraces an infinite number of sectors, with particular attention to relaunching the Tuscan autumn art exhibitions.
What is there not to miss?
I would start with the two guiding exposures: Picasso al Palazzo Strozzi in Florence e Amedeo Modigliani al Blue Palace of Pisa. In the capital you can also take advantage of Friday evenings at the museum, which include a prolonged opening of the Medici Chapels, the Accademia Gallery and the Uffizi. The Banking Foundations of Lucca, Carrara, Prato and Volterra will amaze you with the never seen, works of particular prestige, usually kept in the offices of banks and not visible to the public.
However, Tuscany is also a land of nature and that is why numerous thematic walks will also be organized, both in green areas and in urban areas of artistic value. The key event in this case is the Walking Festival of the Archipelago, from Elba to Giglio in the footsteps of Napoleon; for the more technological, I recommend theInstamet in Volterra to photograph and share the 19 October.
From 9 to 12 October always in Pisa there will also be the Internet Festival, which in turn offers a calendar of really interesting themed seminars and conferences. TO Collodiinstead, the11 October a tourist guide for families Discover Tuscany - art, nature and mysteries, a particular presentation because it is set in the Pinocchio Park.
The music will conclude the festival on 20 October with the concert for the peace of Noa at the Verdi Theater in Firenze. Do not worry, however, if you choose Tuscany as a greedy destination because the events that have to do with food and wine are just as many and the mushrooms, a seasonal product, are the masters.
In addition to walks in the woods in search of porcini and chestnuts, there are also good chances of saving on dinners, snacks and aperitifs, by consulting the catalog of offers. In fact, restaurateurs and tour operators have prepared interesting proposals for all those interested at special prices. Theme evenings, dinners with writers, visits to farms, wine tasting are just some of the options you can choose to enrich your holiday.
Check out the guided tours, such as the ones in Chianti or on Mount Amiata, are opportunities not to be missed because they combine the beauty of the Tuscan territory, openings of historical and archaeological assets that are often not open to visitors and the knowledge of tourist guides, which certainly help to better understand the atmosphere of a territory that is not well known.
Something is missing? Ah yes, the stay… in the Week of Culture that was also thought of: hoteliers and landlords have drawn up a list of special offers. So… let's meet in Tuscany!
