INTRODUCTION
Come join us in this unforgettable photography tour down to the Italian region of medieval villages, hilltop fortresses, vine farms, and rolling hillsides with cypress trees. This is a great opportunity to capture the most fascinating locations in Tuscany from dawn to dusk. Our base for the whole trip will be at Agriturismo Marinello that is located within Pienza. It is very close to tour shooting locations such as the panoramic views in Val D'Orcia. It’s a great place with a spectacular view, located picturesquely among famous Tuscanian rolling hills and cypress trees. In the last two days of the tour, we will have the opportunity to photograph the iconic city of Venice. |
