This Tuscan Life-Ebook

JULY-AUGUST ISSUE AVAILABLE NOW

Our cover brings a bit of resort to the city with the stunning exhibition by Florentine visionary, Emilio Pucci.  We take a look at the incredible man whose designs have an elegant and timeless appeal to women of all ages.  I couldn’t think of wearing anything else but Pucci while sailing on my Benetti superyacht and once you see the details on these incredible works of engineering and art, you’ll understand why!!

This issue, we visit Pietrasanta, a town that is close to my heart as my family have been visiting here since 1998 when my sister moved to this charming beachside town on the Versilia coast.  If you love art and especially sculpture, then this is a place you must visit when you next come to Tuscany.

Our magazine Director, Luca was very happy to take his motorbike on a road-trip to the Garfagnana region which is not only famous for its production of the super grain farro but the area is also gaining a reputation for the quality of craft beer made here.  Once such brewery is La Petrognola and Luca tells us the story behind the success of this Tuscan brewery.

Our Summer recipes are all fairly traditional and easy to prepare.  Learn how to make your own supply of pasta sauce as my relatives have been doing for generations.  Arturo shows us how to make a very quick and crispy beer batter while Toni shares a Tuscan favourite for dessert, the Torta della Nonna!

Don’t forget our cocktail this issue, it’s the perfect drink for this Summer heatwave!
