Perched high in the hills of southern Tuscany, Montepulciano is a town that seems like it’s made for postcards- and wine labels. With its Renaissance architecture, panoramic views and deep roots in winemaking, it offers a mix of culture, scenery and gastronomy. Make sure this charming down deserves a spot on your Tuscany itinerary. My complete guide to Montepulciano, is now live. #montepulciano #montepulciano🍷 #tuscany #toscany #toscana #toscanabella #toscanagram

Steal my 3 days in Florence itinerary. Florence is where art history comes to life—every building, piazza, and sculpture tells a story. It’s a city that doesn’t just showcase design; it breathes it. Here’s how to spend the perfect long weekend in Italy’s art + design capital: • Climb Brunelleschi’s Dome before the crowds
• See David in real life at the Accademia
• Stroll the Arno at golden hour
• Explore artisan studios in Oltrarno
• Wander Boboli Gardens after a museum morning
• Shop for leather goods you’ll actually wear
• Watch the sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo
• Stop by Gucci Garden for a hit of high-fashion surrealism Want the full 3-day Florence itinerary? 
Comment FLORENCE and I’ll send it straight to your inbox. 🇮🇹💌
