Tuscany Tour
A Guided Tour of Tuscany will be organised in the framework of the third edition of �The Future of Education� International Conference.
You can to join the �Guided Tuscany Tour� on 15 June 2013. It will be a very good opportunity to discover three of the most beautiful towns of Tuscany and of Italy:
San Gimignano, known as the City of Beautiful Towers, is one of the UNESCO world heritage centres. It is a classic medieval walled hill town in Tuscany, surrounded by rows of vineyards producing the famous wine Vernaccia. Its medieval towers create a beautiful skyline visible from the surrounding countryside. The towers, some as tall as 50 meters, were built by medieval rich families to demonstrate their wealth and power.
Volterra is a walled town with medieval and Renaissance buildings, a Roman theater, and Etruscan sites. It is one of Tuscany's most evocative hill towns. About Volterra D.H. Lawrence wrote that "it gets all the wind and sees all the world � a sort of inland island", and indeed, seashells can be found embedded in the paving of streets and squares. Volterra has also become a cult destination thanks to the phenomenon Twilight. Some of the Twilight saga books� and movies� crucial scenes indeed happen in Volterra.
Siena, is likely the most beautiful medieval city in Italy. The city sits over three hills with its heart the huge piazza del Campo, known worldwide for the famous Palio run, a horse race run around the piazza two times every summer. Movie audiences worldwide can see Siena and the Palio in the James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. The Campo is dominated by the red Palazzo Pubblico, the Public Palace, and its tower, Torre del Mangia. The Dome of Siena was built in marble at the same as the Public Palace, at the beginning of 1300.
