30 Days of Tuscany- Day 6 - FARM LIFE

10 years 9 months ago - 10 years 9 months ago #291161 by Tuscan Muse
Tuscany is the most agricultural area in all of Italy. During our drives to and from the cities and villages that we visit we enjoy glimpsing the rural countryside.

Sant' Anna in Camprena



Seggiano



Beginning of a new vineyard near Montalcino. The grapes will one day be transformed into the fabulous Brunello wine from the Montalcino area.



Farming equipment abandoned by the monks of Sant' Anna in Camprena.




Le Casacce, near Seggiano, active farm producing olive oil and wine.



Fireplaces are the dominant heating source in Tuscany. Wood sheds are important to life on the farm.



An unamused sheep near Pienza.



A donkey named Socrates who lives near Seggiano, my best pal.

Very nice sequence, Linda! In Pienza, on the main street, there is a bar (italian bar, that is) that has the best panforte ever. I have detoured on the way from Florence to Rome to pick some up...

How about some more urban scenes? Florence? :cheers:

John, I think I know just the place that you are talking about. Next door to a cheese shop, right? Thanks for the kudos on the photos.
I will try to find some urban shots. Good recommendation for Day 7!

Nick, I am in Tuscany about 4 months out of the year hosting creative workshops and tours. My favorites are always the photography workshops and tours. Photographers really know how to live it up and have a good time!
Time for shameful plugging of the next tour in October: tuscanmuse.com/index.php/workshops-tours/through-a-tuscan-lens
