One of the things that annoy us Tuscans to no end is that most of what people know about our land is just wrong. The image that comes to mind to 90% of foreigners that come to visit us is mostly incorrect, just a result of the work of spin doct
After three years spent looking for stories about this incredible region of mine, coming back from a little break was never going to be easy. No matter how ahead you plan, the dread of being late or having chosen the wrong subject is always aro
We come back after a little Christmas break trying to answer one of the most annoying questions ever: "what are you doing on New Year's Eve?". While it looks quite harmless, it has the potential to unleash a world of pain, both to your sanity a
The last weeks of the year are always a time of great excitement and a little bit of dread. Despite your religious tendencies, the idea of meeting with loved ones and indulge in some culinary excesses sounds tempting but there's always the mand
For someone whose stated mission is to at the very least be aware of everything there is to know about Tuscany, coming to terms that this is not the case isn't exactly easy. Quite recently, as I was scouring the internet for interesting stories
After spending almost three years talking about my wonderful homeland, some of you might wonder how a one man band seems always able to find reasonably interesting topics. The process is a lot messier than I'd like but sometimes it borders shee
One of the best things you can do in Tuscany is just to take your vehicle and drive without a real destination in the back roads of this amazing land. The least you will find is many charming villages, vistas to die for and, maybe, a place wher
When we started out this podcast, back in February 2021, our main mission was to tell you everything about the lesser known parts of our beloved region, those places you won't find on the cover of your travel guide. While we still try to stick
We come back to you after our only second break in almost 3 years, something of which we sincerely apologise. Unfortunately, this time, we had a pretty good excuse as my little corner of the world was ravaged by some serious floods. While we ar
Now that the weather has decidedly turned for the worst, even the most obstinate summer lover has got to admit that autumn is upon us. This is a weird time in Tuscany, where almost everyone adores the sun and the beach. While we long to complai
From the first day of this podcast we've been hellbent on demonstrating that even the more mundane corners of this land hide incredible things. Some of you might have rolled your eyes, thinking this is just another attempt to bring back Tuscany
One of the things that puzzles the most my foreign friends is how, sometimes, people in Tuscany are completely unaware of stuff that just lies a few miles from where they live. This can be explained with two simple facts: nothing in Tuscany eve
Of all the famous art cities in Tuscany there is one that is a bit different, that always seems to march to its own drum. Despite being beautiful and fascinating, you sometimes have the impression that people are not really happy you're there t
I've been telling y'all from day one that this homeland of mine is incredibly varied and that there are many places that look nothing like the postcard image that so many people have in their head when they think about Tuscany. And, yet, some o
After a very long and extremely warm few months, it looks like summer is finally on its way out. This will undoubtedly cause some sadness to those of us that cannot imagine their lives away from the sea. While it will be a long time until we fi
In the 2 1/2 years we've spent telling you the stories of this incredible land, we've hardly ever talked about the river that made it what it is. That's not a coincidence as with rising urbanisation and pollution, Tuscans have lost the primal c
One of the most challenging things we face while trying to explain what makes this land so special is that we constantly have to fight stereotypes. Whenever people think about Tuscany, a series of images of outstanding beauty, art and refinemen
Early September is a weird time of the year: summer isn't technically over but the weather is sometimes rubbish and the feeling of sliding towards winter is overwhelming. Luckily there is a way out of the late summer blues: using your weekends
With this crazy heat wave that keeps pummeling our nation, many people wish they had more time and money to just spend a few days by the sea. This, maybe, explains why the previous episodes of this podcast dedicated to seaside resorts have been
With Ferragosto finally behind us, most Italians feel like the summer is actually over. It's a relic of the past, when everybody was on vacation for the whole month of August and the 15th was hump day, when you start to think about work, school
August 15th might mean absolutely nothing to you but here in Italy is one of the most important days of the year, the apex of the summer, the day when, even if you're completely broke, you'll do anything to spend a day out. This has quite evide
There are some places in our incredibly varied region that sometimes leave even us locals a bit baffled. Take, for example, a charming little village not far from Siena. It's sure nice, surrounded by lush nature and has a rich history but you w
If you ask any red-blooded Tuscan what does he really think about his land, he will undoubtedly say that it's the most beautiful place in the entire planet. While I've travelled enough to know that there are places on this green and pleasant pl
When July comes to an end, something stirs the soul of every Italian, the ancestral memory of the summers of old, when August was the month when the entire country shut down for the mandatory vacations. While it was unnerving to see big cities
While I was finally able to get to my little house on the hills near Volterra, the stifling heat still persecutes all of us, making us wonder if there are places around where it's not so freaking hot. Thankfully our little homeland has plenty o
