Tuscany is located in central Italy, north of Rome. It is well known for amazing landscapes, artistic legacy, tasty food and magnificent architecture. The capital and most famous town in Tuscany is Florence, known for its galleries, squares and many historical buildings. The other two big towns and very popular touristic destinations are Siena, famous for its historic center with Piazza del Campo, and Pisa famous for its Leaning Tower.
