More and more tourists to Italy are confining their stays to the ultra-popular province of Tuscany, with its "capitals" of Florence and Siena, its astonishing Pisa and Lucca, its Grevi (chianti and montepulciano wines) and San Gimignano.
Donald Strachan, author of our broader "Easy Guide to Rome, Florence and Venice," has won awards for his previous guides to Tuscany, which he and Stephen Brewer have brought entirely up-to-date for 2015 and beyond. You are in the hands of consummate experts when you use their superb guidebook.
