Then move inland into rolling foothills adorned with cherry orchards, ancient olive groves, and sweeping vineyards that produce wines that challenge Chianti's best. Here it is still possible to follow the paths of Romans, Crusaders, and pilgrims from throughout the western world who were eager to reach Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHidden Tuscany\u003c\/i\u003e provides intriguing images of places such as Livorno, a port city with canals; Pietrasanta, Tuscany's \u003ci\u003eCitta d'Arte\u003c\/i\u003e; and Capraia, an island formed by volcanoes. Keahey engages with the inhabitants of these enchanting landscapes, whether sculptors who toil in marble studios or residents whose own memories and traditions illuminate major moments in world history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom coastal towns to vineyards farther inland to the Tuscan archipelago, Keahey reminds us that each village, city, and island has its own unique story to tell. For armchair travelers and vacation seekers alike, \u003ci\u003eHidden Tuscany\u003c\/i\u003e brings a new side of this classic Italian region to life, and the result is mesmerizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017845260528,"sku":"9781250024312","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250024312_p0.jpg?v=1763760708","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250024312","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
