Tuscany Vacation homes Villa Elena: welcome
Some ancient Roman town hall is uncertain the location of the hole and they stay traces of an amphitheater, of a theater, of a thermal ("Baths of Nerone") building. The city, that fundamentally preserves a medieval urban fabric, with the characteristics house-towers, knew its great artistic shine in the sec. XI-XIV. Maximum monumental complex is decentralizes her/it plaza of the Miracles, on which looks out upon the cathedral, the famous bell tower, the baptistery and the cemetery. The cathedral, notable example of architecture Romanesque-pisana, it was initiated in 1063 from Buscheto and completed by Rainaldo, author of the imposing and elegant façade to four orders of loggette; the usual entry however you/he/she is constituted by the door of S. Ranieri (near the apse) with splendid bronzy doors of Bonanno Pisano (1180). Salient characteristics of the building are the dome to oval plant (sec. XII) and the external surfaces horizontally articulated by white and black bands, decorative scheme typically Tuscan. In the inside, to five aisles, Giovanni's Pisano pulpit, important work of Gothic sculpture; notable also the great thirteenth-century mosaic of the apse (partly of Cimabue), Henry's VII grave (sec. XIV) of Tub of Camaino and some pictures of Andrew of the Tailor. The bell tower or leaning (tilted because of the yielding of the ground) tower, are a cylindrical body developed in eight overlapped orders, initiated in 1174 on project of Bonanno Pisano and completed in the sec. XIV. The baptistery, stately Romanesque circular building with Gothic decorations, was initiated in 1153 from Diotisalvi and completed at the end of Three hundred; the time is constituted by a cone trunk overhung by a dome; to the inside, the famous pulpit of Nicola Pisano (1260) and various sculptures of Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. The plaza is finally delimited from the Gothic cemetery (begun in 1278 by Giovanni of Simone), damaged rectangular construction unfortunately in 1944 (the greatest damages of the bombardments have been however caused in the part of the city to south of the Arno). four inside sides of the cemetery are surrounded by a parvis whose walls and the ceilings bring Region (22.997 km2s; 3.528.563 abs. in 2000) of central Italy, wide on the western slope of the Appennino and understanding the islands of the Tuscan archipelago: it leans out to the sea to W and SW and it confines with the Liguria to NW, the Emilia-Romagna to N, the Brands and Umbria to And, the Lazio to If. Regional chief town is Florence. Administratively it is separated in the provinces of Arezzo, Florence, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Mass-Carrara, Pisa, Pistoia, Lawn and Siena. The region had called Etruria in classical age, Tuscia beginning from the sec. III, Tuscany from the sec. X. Tuscany has triangular form and, also not having geographical unity, it has one particular physiognomy of his, due also to the heterogeneity and the complementarity of his/her constitutive parts. Its confinements are natural solo in the sector nordoccidentale; to they cross in various points Of it the watershed of the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano englobing her tall valleys of the Rhine, of the Santerno and of the Lamone, tributary of the Adriatic Sea; to And they stretch him on the superior valleys of the Marecchia and the Leaf, also tributary of the Adriatic Sea, and on the tall valley of the Tevere; while to If and to S they are conventional entirely, due to a complex of historical-cultural factors.
