Local Events & Festivals
Italy has a wonderful culture and many of the historic towns have special events during the year. Often it is difficult to find out what is happening and where it is happening during the period of your holiday.
We are in the process of putting together some information on the local events during the year. If while on holiday you go to one that we suggest or to another that you think would interest others please can you tell us about it. Some of our suggestions we have been to and will be going to others this year but unfortunately we cannot go to everything so please let us know if you have any comments - good or bad.
You can email comments to michela@to-tuscany.com.

We have also put together a short description of some of the types of events. Please do read through them as we feel that they may help you understand the event better.
The monthly pages are updated at the beginning of the month.
