-'''Tuscany''' ([[Italy|Italian]] ''Toscana'') is a region in central [[Italy]], bordering on [[Latium]] to the south, [[Umbria]] and [[Marche]] to the east, [[Emilia-Romagna]] and [[Liguria]] to the north, and the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]] to the west. It is often regarded as among the most beautiful parts of [[Italy]].
-Tuscany was essentially the birthplace of the [[Italian Renaissance]], and its artistic heritage includes [[architecture]], [[painting]] and [[sculpture]], collected in dozens of [[museum]]s, the best-known of which is the [[Uffizi]] in [[Florence, Italy|Florence]] and in situ in even quite small cities.
-Tuscany is known for its [[wine]]s (most famous of which are [[Chianti]], [[Morellino di Scansano]] and [[Brunello di Montalcino]]) and has 120 protected regions ([[nature reserve]]s).
-Notable [[tourist]] destinations in Tuscany include [[Florence]], [[Siena, Italy|Siena]], [[Pisa]], [[Lucca]], the [[Maremma]], the [[Crete Senesi]], the [[Lunigiana]] and [[Garfagnana]] areas, and the island of [[Elba]].
