The theme of the “voyage” is the cornerstone of the festival, a theme analyzed and represented in all its forms and possibilities – real, ideal, fantastic, imagined, shocking and revolutionary – through images by the world’s most important photographers and some of the top emerging talent.
Visitors will travel through other travellers’ eyes, seeing on the same day: Caracas, Tunis, Tokyo, St. Petersburg and, of course, Cortona! The festival involves the places and citizens of this Etrurian treasure and the photos are distributed among the ancient streets and timeless buildings.
Le Ceregne Organic Farmhouse in Tuscany Tour tour takes you to discover Valdichiana, the widest valley in central Italy, dotted with lovely hamlets such as Castiglion Fiorentino, Monte San Savino, Lucignano and especially the delightful little town of Cortona: its position on the top of a hill offers a breathtaking view over the whole valley.
This lovely hamlet, now world-famous as the setting of the best-seller “Under the Tuscan sun”, is the perfect place for a leisure stop and also boasts a glorious past: founded by the Etruscans in the 7° cen. B.C., Cortona gives you the chance of making a journey through the mysteries of the ancient civilization which constitutes the roots of Tuscan culture.
