Assouline Tuscany Marvel Coffee Table Book

Dive into the enchanting world of Tuscany with the Assouline Tuscany Marvel Coffee Table Book. This stunning book captures the essence of the Italian region, known for its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and timeless art and architecture. It is a visual and intellectual feast perfect for art lovers, history buffs, and travel enthusiasts.

The Italian region of Tuscany is a feast for all senses. A creative incubator that has cultivated art and architecture for eras including Etruscan, Roman, Renaissance, and modern times. Timeworn churches once stopped on nineteenth-century Grand Tours, stand tall in the towns’ piazzas. Rolling hills of wheat and colorful olive groves that inspire authentic Tuscan cuisine are dotted with villas built by the prestigious Medici family. The Tyrrhenian Sea extends off its coast, lapping the shore of Elba, the island where the emperor Napoleon was exiled. Quaint villages, historic towns, and bustling cities are scattered across its landscape, almost as varied as the communities. From annual horse races at Piazza del Campo and the centuries-old winemaking traditions of the Chianti region to the city of Pisa, an ancient Maritime Republic known for the youthful spirit of its Scuola Normale Superiore and Leaning Tower alike, Tuscany is the place of dreams, where thousands come to relive its history and take in the beauty of a region.

In the fashion world, Ferragamo, Gucci, and Pucci all have ties to Florence and its endless inspiration. However, what truly defines Tuscany is its timelessness. Masterpieces from centuries past still lure immense crowds. Brunelleschi’s dome in Florence never fails to strike onlookers with awe.
