For North Americans, at least, the iconic image of Italy is Tuscany (or Toscana). Has the region been highly touristed? Yes. Does it still have a treasure trove of sites, topography, and experiences to discover? Also yes. Plunge into the Renaissance, walk the evocative lanes of countless hill towns, and drink wine so delicious you too will consider buying a vineyard and fixer-upper farmhouse.
What to eat?
Pici all’aglione (thick, rustic spaghetti in a garlicky tomato sauce) with a glass of Brunello, if you can afford it, or a glass of the also-amazing Rosso di Montalcino

My husband and I met in Cortona (yes, the Under the Tuscan Sun town) as two undergrads from the University of Alberta doing a study abroad semester.
