Free- Certaldo old and new ,Tuscany
Certaldo is a personal favorite of mine, not just because it is my hometown. I live in the hills outside town. This was the home to Boccaccio, the author of the Decameron. It is one of the less touristy hilltowns, so you get a real feel of what it was like. There is the larger lower city which was buildt in the 1800's and then the original village from Medieval times, made entirely of red bricks, it is truly beautiful.

Artesia Ceramiche Artistiche
I adore ceramics. One of the nice things is searching out the artisans in various towns and their different styles. Some ceramics reflect colors traditionally used in an area and others are more modern interpretations and more personal.
