| Certaldo: City of Culture |
 |
|
| In every season of the year, there are many reasons to visit Certaldo, Giovanni |
|
| Boccaccio’s city. An extraordinarily intact Medieval village, a real “open air |
|
| museum”, composed of streets, alleys and squares. It is entirely built with red bricks |
|
| and still surrounded by defence and buttress walls that enclose the castle that |
|
| overlooks the valley. There stand tower houses and historical buildings, that today |
|
| are seats of museums, and handicraft workshops that carry out pieces of work live. |
|
| Moreover, there are contemporary art exhibitions. In fact, throughout the year, |
|
| Certaldo hosts permanent and seasonal exhibitions and many cultural and artistic |
|
| events. Moreover, the tourist will find handicraft workshops, very charming typical |
|
| restaurants, from which it is possible to enjoy the panoramic views of incomparable |
|
| beauty of the Tuscanian country. |
