Faces of Tuscany

| Our expert Giovanni
Corrieri is a tenth generation's tuscan man and he has a very deep
knowledge of the area. He is a member and a promoter of one of the
most active archeological groups, the G.A.V.I., Gruppo Archeologico

The Ancient Art Of The
Basket Weawing
|
| Antonio Schipani is
a Master in basket weaving. With his great ability in handling he
can transform simple wires of rush, pith or the more traditional willow
into useful and gracious objects, realized with such a precision to
make them look like real embroidery. Baskets, hats, and anything that
comes from the tradition such as baskets for the olive picking or
for drying the figs is not a secret for him. Among his great works
there is a 13 mt. guinness-huge basket made especially for the wine
festival at Impruneta. Antonio's dream is to transmit the secrets
of his job to the young people. |

| Among the Moldy Cellars Discover the Secrets of
the Wines |
| Like Olive Oil, Wine smells of the soil that
brought it to life. Recognize its bouquet, its color, and its taste
is a whole thing with the knowledge of the culture of the place in
which it has been originated. Steve's Wine Classes combines the experience
by the wine producers in their Vineyards and cellars with the theory
and the practice of the wine tasting. During the weekend you will
try four red and four white Great Italian Wines and learn how to appreciate
and combine them with the right food. |
