This is Tuscany–"Going across country, through its narrow streets, it would be hard to find straight roads; there's just a few houses, and you would not so often see villages, cars, or farm tractors. On your sides there are fields and hills, cornfields and vines; here's a farm, a little bar, a canteen. You will find forgotten smells, rare noises, colors, which still keep on changing according to the different seasons. Here you are, in the country; here it is completely flat, there rippled by little hills; here it is at a mountain's foot, there it is a balcony on the sea....the country is Tuscany."
