Under the Tuscan Sun
Cortona is a picturesque hilltop, walled city with a rich Etruscan (B.C) past. Located in the Arrezo province of Tuscany, Cortona is easily accessible from Rome (126 miles) or Florence (65 miles). Day trips to Pienza, Montepulcino and Siena make Cortona a wonderful location to base for any Italian adventure.
Cortona is a melting pot of culture. It has a documented history from as far back as the 7th and 8th centuries B.C. when the Etruscans built the walls that surround the city. Cortona (Corito) has been a Roman colony and Ghibellinian city state (13th century). All of this history contributes to the sights and sounds, which one finds are ever-present while strolling the streets or visiting the shops.
Cortona is also famous because of the film "Under The Tuscan Sun". The movie was mainly shot in the beautiful town of Cortona.
