Cortona – Exploring The Tuscan Countryside

Cortona is a small town in the Arezzo province of Tuscany, Italy.

It was an Etruscan and Roman colony in the ancient times. It became a part of Italy after the Italian wars of independence. Legend has it that the city of Cortona was built by Crano, the son of Noah after he fell in love with the beautiful countryside and calm air of the area, about 273 years after the great flood.

The city is on top of a hill, about 600 meters above the sea level, and offer stunning views of the surrounding valley and Lake Trasimeno. It is enclosed by ancient walls, and boasts of several architectural masterpieces of the Roman and Etruscan period.

I recently stumbled across a Rick Steves radio interview of Frances Mayes, the author of 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. They discuss how getting in tune with living in Italy can change your sense of time and even help prioritize what matters most in life. Well worth a listen. For more information about renting a villa near Cortona, the setting of the book, please visit this web page and browse through the villas of Cortona.
