Inhaltsangabe

A 15th century stained glass window with an image of Mussolini, a forgotten sculpture by Leonardo da Vinci, a luxurious hotel converted into a public bath, a "milk distributor” 17th century, a frog that drinks wine, a unique astronomical phenomenon in the world, the imprints of Santa Caterina's teeth on a stairway in Siena, a shield with the blood of Christ, the place where the amphora of the Cana Wedding is preserved, one extraordinary anatomical theater in Pistoia, the fountain of the youth of fairy Morgana, an unusual walk along the marble monorail ... Far away from people and cliches, Tuscany still has hidden treasures which it is ready to unveil to its inhabitants and travellers willing to abandon the beaten paths. An indispensable guide for those who think they know it well Tuscany or for those who wish to discover the secret face of the region.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jacopo Mauro has led a nomadic existence throughout Europe for 18 years. Following a spell as an opera singer, he now specialises in seeking out authentic experiences where they are most difficult to find, at major public events such as the Palio of Siena, the Venice Carnival or the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. Through his international network of personal contacts, he involves people in these events according to the principle: “Be there, but without the crowds.” Roberto Di Ferdinando writes for the press on the history of Florence, Tuscany and military affairs. He runs the Recinto Internazionale website and two blogs: Curiosità di Firenze and Fotografie del Mondo. Since 2013, he has been a member of the scientific committee of the Florentines in the World Association. He is also a holistic consultant specialising in psychosomatic analysis techniques and personal growth, registered with the professional association Olocounseling (Overcoming Life’s Obstacles) since 2016.
