Visions of Tuscany is Produced and Presented by Alessandro Sorbello http://www.AlessandroSorbello.com Tuscany (Italian: Toscana) is one of the twenty regions of Italy. It has an area of 22,990 km² and a population of about 3.6 million inhabitants. The regional capital is Florence.
Tuscany is known for its landscapes and its artistic legacy. Six Tuscan localities have been made UNESCO protected sites: the historical center of Florence (1982), the historical center of Siena (1995), the square of the Cathedral of Pisa (1987), the historical center of San Gimignano (1990), the historical center of Pienza (1996) and the Val d'Orcia (2004).
Geography - Tuscany is a region of Central Italy, bordering Emilia-Romagna to the north, Liguria to the north-west, Tyrrhenian Sea to the west, Umbria and Marche to the east, Lazio to the south-east. The territory is two thirds hilly and one fourth mountainous. The remainder is constituted of the plains that form the valley of the Arno River. Tuscany is divided into ten provinces: Arezzo, Florence (Firenze), Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa-Carrara, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato, Siena
History - History of Tuscany oncello. An artistic movement of the 19th century, called Macchiaioli, chose this village, because of its beauty, as an inspirational source for their work. Apennine and Villanovan cultures. Apennine culture and Villanovan culture
The pre-Etruscan history of the area in the late Bronze and Iron ages parallels that of the early Greeks. The Tuscan area was inhabited by peoples of the so-called Apennine culture in the late second millennium BC (roughly 1350--1150 BC) who had trading relationships with the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations in the Aegean Sea. Following this the Villanovan culture (1100--700 BC) came about which saw Tuscany, and the rest of Etruria, taken over by chiefdoms (as was also the case at this time in France and the Aegean after the collapse of Mycenae and Troy). City-states developed in the late Villanovan (again paralleling Greece and the Aegean) before "Orientalization" occurred and the Etruscan civilisation rose.
Etruscans - Etruscan civilization - The Etruscans were the first major civilization in this region of Italy; large enough to lay down a transport infrastructure, implement agriculture and mining, and produce vivid art. The people who formed the civilization lived in the area (called Etruria) well into prehistory. The civilisation grew to fill the area between the rivers Arno and Tiber from the eighth century, reaching their peak during the seventh and sixth centuries BC, and finally ceded all power and territory to the Romans by the first century. Throughout their existence, they lost territory to the surrounding civilisations of Magna Graecia, Carthage and Gaul. Despite being described as distinct in its manners and customs by contemporary Greeks, the cultures of Greece, and later Rome, influenced the civilisation to a great extent. One of the reasons for its eventual demise was this increasing lack of cultural distinction, including the adoption of the Etruscan upper class by the Romans.
Romans - Soon after absorbing Etruria, Rome established the cities of Lucca, Pisa, Siena, and Florence, endowed the area with new technologies and development, and ensured peace. These developments included extensions of existing roads, introduction of aqueducts and sewers, and the construction of many buildings, both public and private.. The Roman civilization in the West finally collapsed in the fifth century and the region was left by the Goths, and others. In the sixth century, the Longobards arrived and designated Lucca the capital of their Duchy of Tuscia.
The medieval period - March of Tuscany With pilgrims travelling along the Via Francigena between Rome and France came wealth and development during the mediæval period. The food and shelter needed by these travellers fuelled the growth of new communities around churches and taverns. The conflict between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, factions supporting, respectively, the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire in central and northern Italy during the 12th and 13th centuries, split the Tuscan people. These two factors gave rise to several powerful and rich communes in Tuscany: Arezzo, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, and Siena. The balance between these communes were ensured by the assets they held; Pisa, a port; Siena, banking; and Lucca, banking and silk. By the renaissance, however, Florence succeeded in becoming the cultural capital of Tuscany and ensured a bright, and peaceful, future for the region.Tuscany

| | Orlando Home Designer, Florida Bella Collina Tuscany Design - 255 sec
http://www.SusanBerryDesign.com, SusanBerry@ClassicalHomeDesign.com
Orlando, Florida Bella Collina. Home of Luxury Home Designer, Susan Berry, ASID.
Palazzo del Lago, the 2006 Street of Dreams in Bella Collina, represents the very finest in architectural design, interior innovation and handcrafted artistry. The interior detailing, materials selections and exterior details and specifications are the work of Susan Berry, of Classical Home Design. Walls with the look of aged plaster, copper-clad windows, medieval-style groin vaults and intricate wrought-iron accents further evoke the home's old-world feel. Those time-honored touches give way to a more polished, sophisticated look in the formal areas of the home, where imported marble and onyx, magnificent gold and crystal chandeliers, and exquisitely embellished floors and walls create a refined air. The dramatic rotunda above the stair tower is hand-painted to resemble the stained-glass dome of a Venetian conservatory spotted by builder Rick Vogel during his European travels. Homage is paid to the demands—and pleasures—of modern life as well. To answer the present-day emphasis on alfresco living space, ingenious design provides the best of both worlds in the rear of the home adjacent to the pool. Here, massive pocketed sliding doors telescope open to create an indoor-outdoor space as the interior space blends seamlessly with the lanai and pool. Outdoors, extensive gold travertine decking leads toward elegant balustrades that frame the space that overlooks Lake Sienna. It's an ideal entertaining space for open-air dining and casual gatherings.
Another nod to contemporary living can be found in the home's innovative flex space, which can be used as a screening room, high-tech home school classroom or music-mixing studio. A raised platform and flexible seating and desk space assures that everyone can claim the best seat in the house while watching movies and music videos or taking online home school classes. Technological advances can also be found in the kitchen, where a phone booth off the main space contains the computer control panel for the house, providing a command center for security, lighting, sound and more. Today's emphasis on fitness is addressed in the cork-floored exercise room, where a ballet bar across one wall is a nod to tradition and colorful glass tiles evoke the ancient art of glassmaking in Murano, Italy.
With its respect for history and appreciation for modern living, Palazzo del Lago represents the best of both worlds, old and new. It is truly a home for the ages, past, present and future.
2007 Villa Bocelli, Bella Collina, Florida, for RL Vogel Homes Custom designed details by Susan P. Berry, including Luxurious Gardens, Courtyards, Fountains, Pools, Hidden Powder Room, Tuscan Gourmet Kitchen, Spanish Colonial Bath, stone fireplaces and much more. This Relaxed Resort Living Estate Home in the Ginn Equestrian Community of Bella Collina, Florida is another masterpiece of the team of Susan P.Berry and Rick Vogel. The Spanish Colonial style home features a resort pool with sandstone decking, spillover fountain, hand forged wrought iron fencing, dancing water sprays, pebble tech finish, and imported Mission tile. The Tuscan stone column colonnade at the breezeway leads to a Cabana with a pool bath, custom designed Cast Stone Fireplace from the Susan Berry Collection, a grape vine and pecky cypress ceiling, a summer kitchen with marble counters, golden travertine bricks, hand painted Mexican tiles and a professional Wolfe grill. The arched entry doors, the pool and all interior rooms look out to the central garden courtyard featuring lush landscaping, a four-sided Kenneth Lynch fountain and reclaimed Brazilian brick pavers. The staircases are all custom designed wrought iron with hand painted tile and travertine risers. World Imports Chandeliers are handcrafted black wrought iron with mercury glass and candle votives. The Library showcases a 2 way stone fireplace from the Susan Berry Collection; hand scraped butterscotch cherry wood plank floors and French doors to the courtyard. The pool bath vessel sink is hand blown blue glass with 24 Karat gold fish pattern inlays. A Rojo marble vessel showcases the Formal Powder Bath.

| | Sting - Roxanne (Live Tuscany, Sept. 11, 2001) - 239 sec
Brilliant reinvention of the classic Police song.
From a live concert in Tuscany on the night of 9/11 - which obviously affects Sting's and the other musicians' mood, making the first half of the concert very moving, but also very solemn. Numerous times, Sting hinted to the audience to hold back their applause.
However, Roxanne marked a clear change in outlook during the performance, as Sting acknowledges at the end - turning this into a truly magical rendition of the song =o)

| | 7 Days TOSCANA Italy Tuscany - 91 sec
7DY-DVD-108 - Florence is the capital of Tuscany and at the end of the 14th Century was ruled by a few leading families who not only financed churches but also competed in building magnificent palaces. Of these, the Medici family proved to be the most powerful. It is a city of art and joie de vivre and past home of important artists and sculptors such as Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, plus the writers Dante and Boccaccio, not to mention the scientist, Galileo Galilei. The most modern of the Tuscany spas was built in the valley below Montecatini Alto which can be reached on a rack-railway which climbs to the top of the mountain through orchards and fields. Lucca, one of Tuscany's most important historical towns, rises from the lower reaches of the Serchio river, on a former swamp. Dating from the Middle Ages, it is surrounded by a massive brick wall which helped the town retain its independence and also protected it from the floodwaters of the Serchio. The precarious imperfection of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is in stark contrast to the grandiose palaces and religious buildings of the Medici family and the natural contours of the hills. The Cathedral, Bapisterium and Campanile form a unique, grandiose harmony and display the liberal mindedness of those who were in power during their construction. Olive groves and vineyards line the gentle hilly landscape around the picturesque, Vinci. The birthplace of Leonardo is a simple farmhouse above the square in which only a modest bust portrays this universal genius. Surrounded by the cities of Florence, Siena, and Pisa, Certaldo is a Middle Age village built of red brick and was the birthplace of the author, Giovanni Boccaccio. The heart of Tuscany lies around the provincial capital of Siena, a Gothic city of great artistry. The entire structure, its squares and streets, most of the residential quarterand noble palaces, the cathedral and the church, date back to the 13th and 14th centuries. History and culture combined with the beauty of nature...Tuscany has it all!
