Tuscany's capital is full of history, boasting beautiful architecture, great art venues, superb food, and unforgettable atmosphere. Tuscany is also known for its wines, including Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano, Brunello di Montalcino and white Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Having a strong linguistic and cultural identity, it is sometimes considered "a nation within a nation".
