My favorite city in Tuscany and one of them in Italy. Prefer Siena to Florence.
I wonder if those agri-tourismo farmhouses offer an Internet connection.
What a lovely country and a wonderful video to presents it, I could almost feel the warmth of Tuscany and inspired by Italy’s rich culture and traditions. Wish I have the time and money to experience it with my family first-hand!
This my favorite travel show. Don’t stop traveling, Rick.
Rick , le marche italy should be next on ur itenary.Wonderful place , pls explore for us.
Love all of Rock’s Video’s. Please do not STOP Traveling.
La vita e bella
Hermosa ciudad
SO confused! We have a day that we can spend in Siena, Montepulciano or Montalcino, any recommendations?
Excellent overview. Very beautiful area.
Cool place to go
Awesome video!
love you
I love Rick’s videos as his enthusiasm and love of the places and people always shines through!
ரிக் ஸ்டீவின் ஒவ்வொரு பதிவும் அழகானது.
Saltarello in the background is very fitting!
Siena is a very nice city of Italy
What does it mean between Florence and Rome is the region of Tuscany??? LOL Tuscany is Tuscany, Rome is in Latium and Latium starts further north than Rome. Even Tuscany goes more up north than Florence. My God…
Can you please share the name of the agrotourismo you stayed at
Monuments to pope’s and man. God is a jealous God and we shouldn’t have idols in church. Pagan idols of man .. GOD never wanted that ever.
Do not let the Renaissance go to waste. For the sake of humanity. INFOWARS
So give me this feedback. On a 2 week trip from the US, does it make sense to fly into Venice…train down to Florence, Rome, and fly back home from Rome?
One of your best videos, Rick! I truly felt I was right there in Tuscany.
I love you!
So spectacular from an interesting point of view
I’m an Italian, I’m a great explorer and a tourist. I do not follow routes for tourists but the real life of the places. I congratulate you on siena and Tuscany as they really are. I travel all over Europe but at the end the most beautiful place in the world is at home … true Italy.
Interesting comment about planting Cypress trees to stop soil erosion.
The roots of a Cypress tree only go down and do not spread out from the tree.
If you want to stop soil erosion, the Cypress is the last tree you would choose.
Siena is a joy! I went there for three summers as a participant of a music festival and lived there for one year. It totally changes character when the summer tourists leave, but still it is so beautiful. A glorious place!
Quelle belle video, c’est vrai tout
ce que Rick dit.. Vive l’Italie!!!.
Congrats to show us the beauty of italy
Wow, I am planning 20 days of Italy and and I found your video, really nice and helpful. Thanks for the upload…
What the restaurant called with the wine and cheese cellar downstairs?
