June begins with a four-day sojourn in Florence, cultural capital of the Renaissance. Then it’s off to a second agriturismo, this located outside of San Gimignano.  Here we reconnect with the Via Francigena pilgrimage route to Rome, and will take walks from one small village to the next, while spending nights at another Italian farm, Podere Poggio ai Cieli.  Leaving the farm on June 12th, we head northwest to the Italian coast, via Pisa, Lucca, and the Cinquiterra.
