Lifestyle

First of all, it is necessary to ask: is there a Tuscan LifeStyle? an original, typically Tuscan lifestyle, which distinguishes us from the rest of the world, just as there is a London lifestyle, or a NY lifestyle, recognizable by anyone?

And the answer is Yes, absolutely yes, the Tuscans possess a vision of life all of them that conditions the way of expressing oneself, the choices, the way of work, Of pose, Of dress, Of eat, in short, one of their way of seeing things, only it is not as circumscribable as that of a city, even a large one, like London or New York.

What is life like in Tuscany?

No, it Tuscan lifestyle It is not easy to summarize, also because, obviously, between sea, mountains, countryside and city, the differences abound. Nevertheless, it is possible to identify some common traits in a people who have dominated the world scene for centuries with the his genius, the his creativity, his sagacious, ironic, conception of existence.

Among the common traits that characterize the entire region are, in addition to the sublime nature scattered everywhere, art and history. In Tuscany the vestiges of the past and the artistic creations there are so many that we ourselves are unable to fully understand our heritage, like a super-nabob who no longer knows how to estimate his gigantic wealth.

And this, for better or for worse, affects the our lifestyle.

Ingenuity and the pursuit of beauty in everything

The beautiful that surrounds us everywhere pushes us to always do better, to never settle, to try to imitate such grace, to propose innovative solutions, originals, to preserve it, or even to overcome it, pushes us towards constant improvement towards excellence in every field, from thefood and wine fashionable all'crafts of all kinds but, and this is the other side of the coin, even becoming hypercritical, never satisfied with the result, always with a but added at the end of the judgment.

If we think that not even the Michelangelo's David - who paraded for Calzaiuoli Street, in front of the people amazed by that marble giant - he made everyone agree, and that even Leonardo, while admiring him, criticized him, need we add anything else?

Damned Tuscans

Yes, let's say it, we Tuscans we are polemical, sharp, pungent, often armed with a biting joke that comes to us from an untamed irony, never dormant, but we also have our own form of humility which comes to us from constant contact with a rampant beauty, overwhelming.

We Tuscans are the ones who nothing ever goes well for him of their city, which they have something to say about everything, but when they are outside the region they say: yes, beautiful, but Florence… but Siena… but Pisa… but Lucca… but Arezzo… but the Val d'Orcia… but the Island of Elba… etc. etc.

Damned Tuscans, he called us Malaparte, it's true, but we have also been able to take advantage of the wonders that nature and our ancestors have given us, we have been able to conserve them, we have been able to let them inspire us in everything we do.

We Tuscans we have many flaws, this is also true, but do you know what the worst defect is??
