Two-day roadtrip in Toscana: amazing shots of a typical Italian landscape

When a foreigner thinks about Italy, I realised that most of the times the first picture that comes to his mind is the typical Tuscany landscape: cypresses, haycocks, sunflowers, vineyards, and golden fields.

I usually go to Tuscany many times in the year because with my family we go to the beach at Argentario, which is a sort of little peninsula in the south-western area of Tuscany called Maremma Toscana.

But being Argentario a sea-side place, of course it is not fully representative of the whole region Tuscany, although beautiful. Last year, therefore, despite the over 40°celsius during summertime, I decided to go for a short roadtrip to discover the real Tuscany. I had already visited most of those places with my family over the years (except for Pisa, Siena and Lucca), but I really wanted to travel through all these bucolic Italian landscapes again after having travelled all around the world, because the more I travel and the more I realise that Italy and Europe are just gorgeous. We don't have to travel so far to find beautiful places!

So, going back to my roadtrip, the itinerary was focused on one main idea: not to reach some destinations but enjoying the fields, therefore I came out of the highway as soon as possible and wandered around the little curvy roads, stopping by little towns and then bigger cities such as Florence and Siena.

Departure from Argentario, highway to Grosseto and Siena, and at the height of Paganico exit direction Montalcino. A tour along the campagna senese (country fields around Siena), then Siena, Florence, Pisa, Lucca. I stopped by other little town whose name I don't remember anymore, I am sorry!!

I would have loved to be by motorbike by I found comfort on my parents' cabrio! ;)

Enjoy these amazing shots of La Bella Toscana..
