A land symbol of well-being that is commonly viewed as large and quiet green stretches of breathtaking beauty, that open wide towards the crystal clear sea on the coast. But beauty and relax in Tuscany are not just that! There is another aspect of the territory which once again confirms the excellent offer of this [...]

You certainly know the Cacciucco Livornese recipe made with fish…well this is a nice variation on the theme made with chickpeas. In addition to being a very good recipe and a nutricious one, it also is an excellent vegan alternative too. However, the origins of this are not vegan, but as it always goes in [...]

It is a connoisseur food, although it belongs to the popular Tuscan food tradition. You can always find it between [...]

A monumental art work that makes children and adults alike happy, a wonderful idea that took 20 years to become reality, a unique occasion to discover an artist that just recently died and left so much behind.
