Colle Val D'Elsa from '200 to 2000

Did you already visit the most famous destinations? Would you like to have a unique, fun and unforgettable experience in Tuscany?

I recommend you a day in Colle Val D'Elsa, a medieval village outside the tourist routes, but that has so much to say and show you... It is the birthplace of Arnolfo di Cambio, the Architect of Palazzo Vecchio and the Cathedral of Florence. Here Carlo Lorenzini, better known as Carlo Collodi, entered the seminary and he get the inspiration to write the famous novel of Pinocchio. It is also the most important town of Italy in the production of crystal. It is famous as well for its contemporary art lost around the village. So why do not stop and enjoy a nice day between his shops, palaces, stories and art?
