Tuscany is one of the twenty Regions of Italy. The capital is Florence. Tuscany is known for its landscapes and its artistic legacy. Tuscany is known for its wines (most famous of which are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano), and has 120 protected nature reserves. Other agricultural products include Chianina cattle (origin of the famous 'Fiorentina' steak) and the production of olive oil.
Tourism is the economic backbone of the so-called 'Cities of Art' (Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano), as well as on the coast and in the isles (Elba). Marble is quarried in the Alpi Apuane (Carrara, Versilia and Massa), in Garfagnana and in Lunigiana.
It is an ancient seaside village in the province of Grosseto. The modern city grew around a medieval fortress and a large fishery, from which it got its designation. Today Castiglione Della Pescaia is known for its clean beaches and has become a centre of international (mostly European) tourism.
