These are some of the words Giorgio Vasari used to describe the lands of levante fiorentino, a territory which covers the National Park of the Casentinesi forest up to the hills which mark the southern border of the florentine province. Land of architects, painters, artisans who, with leather, pottery, canary grass and ground, have created a soft profile and a territory rich of products: the fruits of a patient and simple work which originate through the century the farming of vine and olive tree following the standard of a dream landscape.
Since years, the municipalities of Bagno a Ripoli, Dicomano, Figline Valdarno, Incisa Valdarno, Londa, Pelago, Pontassieve, Reggello, Rignano sull'Arno, Rufina and San Godenzo and the Comunità Montana Montagna Fiorentina joint togehter to elaborate governance and promotional instruments able to show and to offer to the world the excellences of these lands and the possibility to discover the talents who created them: the farmers, the artisans and the artists who have chosen in these years to operate in these places and who bring our land in the world through their creations; the smells, the history and the beauty of a land which takes care of itself thanks to the agreement among institutions and producers.
Wine and Fashion, a delicate and challenging territory, the respect of the landscape and the strenght of creativity: these characteristics make levante fiorentino a unique and extraordianry land which colour itself with images and smells to win people's heart. Wine&FashionFlorence is a calendar, a project, a place where to know and to discover tastes and arts of a piece of Tuscany, in which hills and mountains dip ingo the Arno and Sieve rivers which, as Vasari imagined them, meet each other in a warm and mysterious embrace.
