Italy’s Finest invites travelers this summer to discover the best of Tuscany, the majestic land that sparked the Renaissance where, after centuries of darkness, western civilization came back to life. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Galileo, Dante, Botticelli and many others were all born here. Immerse yourself in a weekend that will introduce you to the best this enchanting land has to offer including food, wine, art and romance. To top off your stay, you will visit the hometown of Andrea Bocelli in Central Tuscany to see Andrea perform for friends and fans as the sun sets over the Tuscan hills.

The program, organized by Italian Tour Operator Italy’s Finest, is designed to let a few fortunate visitors enjoy only the very best Tuscany has to offer including the incredibly rare hometown concert by Tuscany’s very own Andrea Bocelli. This concert will be an emotional, once-in-a-lifetime experience because it takes place in his hometown of Lajatico at the “Teatro del Silenzio” and it is not going to happen ever again. Although the concert has sold out months ahead of time, Italy’s Finest can provide this privilege as part of the “Best of Tuscany” experience.

Italy’s Finest program will also allow you to spend the long weekend at the Castello del Nero Hotel and Spa in the Tuscan countryside and enjoy the award-winning ESPA Spa. Nearby Florence will give you the chance to explore the authentic Italian lifestyle by mingling with the locals at the lively Mercato Centrale. You will be overwhelmed by the variety of fresh, local and seasonal produce available, tasting pecorino cheeses, local cured hams and a thousand types of ‘salami’ as you pass by the open fronted stores.

In addition, guests will enjoy a VIP Visit of the award winning Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona winery in Montalcino, one of the world’s wine Meccas and will savor a dinner cooked by Marcello Crini at the Michelin Guide Star-rated Osteria di Passigano owned by the Antinori Family. They will also enjoy a tour of the Accademia to see Michelangelo’s David with a renowned art historian as guide.

But the big highlight of the program will be seeing and listening to Andrea Bocelli and his friends sing his repertoire from an Executive Seat at the ‘Teatro del Silenzio’ with access to the hospitality area.

Optional activities for the program will include driving your choice of Supercar for a whole day, or an helicopter tour, or a hot air balloon ride. Italy’s Finest can even arrange for designing your own personalized fragrance or wine.
