Hello my friends. Today I wanted to talk about our trip to Volterra, which we visited over the weekend. Volterra is an ancient city where the Etruscans lived in antiquity. The stone houses and grand gates still stand. We traveled there through small rural roads. After arriving we parked our car and started exploring the city.

Hello my friends. Today I’ve brought you to the birthplace of one of the greatest geniuses in the world, Leonardo da Vinci’s hometown. The name "da Vinci" is no coincidence. In Italian it means Leonardo from Vinci. In fact da Vinci isn’t a surname but rather a reference to his place of origin. We’re now in a completely rural settlement called Anchiano, where Leonardo da Vinci was born.

Hello my friends. Welcome to sunny Florence on this beautiful February day. The weather was perfect for a walk today, so I decided to take a stroll. Not only did I enjoy the stunning winter views of Florence, but I also set out to discover a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed by visitors. This place is usually overlooked by tourists, yet it deserves the attention of both visitors and locals alike. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of its existence.I also visited one of the northern entrance gates of the city, Porta San Gallo. These gates were once part of the city walls, which were demolished in the 19th century when Florence’s historic center was being reconstructed. In the 15th century after a shift in power and the end of the Medici family's rule, the city was taken over by the Lorraine dynasty. They built a triumphal arch in Florence, which still stands in the square today. When you visit this place, you might be surprised to see not one but two triumphal arches. The first arch built in the 15th century, is currently undergoing restoration, but the other one remains fully visible. Nowadays you can reach this square by tram, whereas in the past it was only accessible by car, on foot or by other public transport. Finally in January of last year, the tram line extended to this area.

Hello my friends. I would like to tell you about our visit to the town of Monteriggioni, a city in the Tuscany region. I had been there once before and as far as I remember, it only had narrow streets and walls, but I really liked it. That’s why I was eagerly waiting for the day I would visit again. I want to share with you the unforgettable atmosphere of Tuscan towns.

Hello my friends. Today I wanted to share our visit to an archaeological museum and a church in Tuscany. As you walk along a small dirt road, you might suddenly come across a historical architectural gem from the 10th century. This is San Leonardo Church. We were lucky today because the church was open. It was Sunday. After that we continued exploring other interesting places.

Hello my friends. The other day we set out on a road trip and made a few stops in charming towns. First we went to a town called Castiglione della Pescaia, which is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany. If you plan to visit here, don’t forget to look for parking on your navigation system. There are free parking spaces and we easily found one. After that, we strolled around Castiglione della Pescaia.
