PISA
Pisa makes a very interesting visit and day out . . .
The Basilica is very beautiful and is an interesting museum
From inside the Basilica you can still get glimpses of the tower of Pisa:
At the top of the leaning tower you can see the bells of the campanile:
The city of Pisa competed fiercely with the neighbouring city states with Florence under the rule of the Medici dynasty. The rivalries that ensued were like those between the students of CALTech and MIT or Oxford and Cambridge and an interesting exhibit is the chains from the gates of the mediaeval city of Genoa
The Duomo at Pisa is perhaps one of the most spectacular pieces of Renaissance architecture and the doors are memorably ornate solid cast bronze.
The museum includes wonderful frescoes and a graphic Last Judgment depicting a spectacularly fiery hell . . .
after which the rest of the world, and your holiday, will be a veritable heaven
British Prime Minister Tony Blair knows the best places for a relaxing and revitalising holiday and has spent precious holiday time in nearby Panicale at a property owned by a relative of this apartment's owner - We might not all bear the pressures of a PM, but we certainly owe it to ourselves to experience the vitality of Lunigiana with our families too. He's not flavour of the month for the war in Iraq but under Saddam Hussein, according to our Baghdad client, if you had ice cream in your house, you would be beheaded. Perhaps Tony Blair had been inspired by the Pisa depiction of hell and the heaven of Italian ice creams here in Tuscany!
