Tuscany and a New Renaissance

The Tuscan landscape is incomparably rich in art and culture, cities and nature, wine and food. While the trails of Renaissance fresco painters like Piero della Francesca are well-known, less well-known are the works by artists of the last half-century who have sparked a rebirth of this ancient way of painting. They deserve a trail of their own. You will be rewarded with a sense that the past is alive, and modern.
