Publisher's Synopsis
A 15th century stained glass window with an image of Mussolini, the oak tree where Pinocchio hanged himself, a forgotten sculpture by Leonardo da Vinci, a luxurious hotel converted into a public bath, a frog that drinks wine, a unique astronomical phenomenon, the imprints of Santa Caterina's teeth on a stairway in Siena, a shield with the blood of Christ, the place where the amphora of the Cana Wedding is preserved, one anatomical theatre in Pistoia, the Cottage of the Fairies, an unusual walk along the marble monorail... Far away from people and clichés, Tuscany still has hidden treasures which it is ready to unveil to its inhabitants and travellers willing to abandon the beaten path. An indispensable guide for those who think they know Tuscany well or for those who wish to discover the secret face of the region.
