Carlo Fabbri 
Chianti. Art, history, traditions 

Walking along small paths in the midst of the woodes in search of nature or of a few precious olive trees and vines, the noble parents of the "king of vines", discovering history in the medieval castles and walled villages or in the ancient spirituality of the soberly-beautiful parish churches, revelling in the sight of so many works of art by Sienese or Florentine masters, stopping off in a tavern to savour delicious dishes, in a region that is as hospitable as that of Chianti, which offers thousands of suggestions for both body and spirit, all these are truly pure pleasure.
