"UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN" CONNECTION: VILLA BRAMASOLE

The town of Cortona gained international fame as the setting for the book and film "Under the Tuscan Sun," making it a must-visit for fans of the story.

MUSEUM OF THE ETRUSCAN CIVILIZATION

Cortona’s civic museum at Piazza Signorelli offers a fascinating and eclectic collection that goes beyond the Etruscan limits suggested by its name. The Accademia, a historical institute founded in 1727, numbered Voltaire among its early members. The museum MAEC occupies one of the town’s more impressive medieval palaces, the 13th-century Palazzo Casali (or Palazzo Pretorio), former home to Cortona’s leading medieval family.
