I think I would like Tuscany, I like the home decor especially for the kitchen and I also enjoy much of the food.

Suzie,
There is so much more to Tuscany than kitchen decor and food.
There's the work of Leonard Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Brunelleschi , Ghiberti, Cellini, the Medici, just to name a few.
Florence, the home of the Renaissance has the Ponte Vecchio, the Dumo, the David, Basilica di Santa Croce.
I could go on and on.
But you are correct - the food is great, but it's great all over Italy.Last edited by Clove; 03-07-2008 at 12:38 PM.
