Overview

Once upon a time. . . there was an enchanted place of a timeless world, a magical land called Tuscany.

Here the waves of the rolling hills, privileged custodians of mysteries of ancient peoples still present in daily gestures of its inhabitants, crashing gently into the sea of those Thirrenii where lustful Venus lost seven gems of her divine tiara...

As scenery hatched by superior minds, blue sea and beautiful islands.

Undisputed queen Fabricia, Elbe Island today, the one chosen by Jason and the Argonauts searching the Golden Fleece, for stop and resting. Porto Argo, Cosmopoli, Portoferraio: from a fisherman village to the capital of the Napoleon's ephemeral empire
