Problem
Where is Tuscany? It's in Italy. But where in Italy?
Answer
Tuscany is on the west coast of Italy. It's where the Etruscans came from.
Story
I went to Italy, and like many English speaking people I had heard of both Tuscany and the Etruscans but not realised that the roots of both words are connected, until it was pointed out to me and my group by an Italian speaking guide. Often people go to visit both Tuscany and Umbria together.
Tuscany is an area containing Florence.
Umbria's capital, Perugia, has the most amazing defensive tower gate built up the cliffside in a typical Etruscan tower city. Think of the Etruscans as tower building people.
