Tuscany, Italy
The Italian region of Tuscany, or Toscana, serves as the major filming location for the Danish movie. Set and named after the region, the film ‘Toscana’ gracefully portrays its beauty through its scenes. The city of Florence serves as the capital of Tuscany. Florence is one of the most popular tourist destinations within the country, along with Pisa, which is also in the same region. Given the historical significance of these places, one can easily understand the role Tuscany plays in the country’s history and culture.
The beautiful Tuscan landscape is hilly in nature since the region is characterized by mountains. The region spans from the Apuan Alps and the Apennine Mountains to the shores of the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The river Arno serves as the lifeline for the Tuscans, with prominent cities like Empoli, Florence, and Pisa located on its banks.
Throughout Tuscany’s long history, it has served as one of the primary food sources for Italy and surrounding areas. Presently, Tuscan cuisine is famous for its simplistic and quality fare. Bread and cheese may be the most simplistic ingredients, but their quality elevates basic dishes to divine. The region is also famous for its olives, truffles, and wines.
Given its rich cultural history, breathtaking landscapes, and delicious food, is it truly a wonder that the region was chosen as the central setting for ‘Toscana?’ In fact, several other movies have utilized the picturesque region as their backdrops, such as ‘House of Gucci‘ and ‘Benedetta.’
