In myblog post announcing the Writers Digest Writing Retreat to Florence and the Tuscan countryside, I mentioned that writers throughout history have found inspiration from their time in the region. Because I so quickly fell in love with Florence, Ive spent a lot of time reading books that take place in Florence and that are inspired by the sights there. It was reading about those specific places that informed what I made sure to visit, and subsequently what inspired theitinerary for this retreat.

Each time I visit Tuscany, I always make sure I see at least one or two new-to-me towns or sights. I love seeing my favorite places again, because somehow they never stop being beautiful or inspiring, but seeing new places makes each trip worth the visit. Click here to learn more about the itinerary. I cant wait to experience it with you!

Ciao!
