Tuscany People

The modern day Tuscan people evolved from the Etrsucans who first appeared in the area in 800 BC. These people had many skills including excellent road building ability, being great sea-farers, and producing intricate and exquisite art works and jewellery. In fact the spread of the Etruscan civilization was based around the success of their traders who distributed the products both near and far.

Over the ages the Tuscan people have contributed immensely to Italy and Italian culture and the Tuscan dialect was at the very root of the Italian language. Great farming skills and an eye for beauty and form have created the much loved Tuscan landscapes of today. The great artists and architects have built and decorated the many historic towns and buildings. The love of life of the Tuscan people has evolved superb wines and a cuisine worthy of the best in the world. All in all, Tuscany is a beautiful place to live and one of the most balanced lifestyles in the world with the climate, countryside, architecture, food and wine, and style all in harmony. No wonder people love to travel and holiday in Tuscany!
