My Photography Workshop in Tuscany to discover a land that truly does have it all to Photograph. From extraordinary culture, a millenary art and architecture to perfect landscapes of olive groves, vineyards and poplars.
Intro Workshop in Tuscany
Thanks to the unforgettable landscapes, marvelous cities and excellent wine, the region is certainly among the most beautiful in Italy. For that reason is very difficult to choose where to start to photograph Tuscany. From the enchanting Gothic majesty of Siena, the historic rival of Florence, to the Romanesque splendor of the ancient maritime republic of Pisa, it is all a succession of cities of art. If you move away from the major urban centers, you will meet another equally fascinating Tuscany, with centuries-old villages perched on top of green hills and churches located in the most remote places. So below i put the main destination and some tips to capture. My advice is to start from there and then find your itinerary based on your tastes and interest.
My tours are designed to live inside the authentic Tuscany in a way that you could never live on your own !
DAILY PROGRAM During my Workshop in Tuscany we’ll photograph every day, including the first and last day of the trip. To take advantage of the best light, we’ll go out to photograph at sunrise and sunset every day, adding as many daytime shooting sessions as well as the weather will let us. Even I grew up in this magic land,i can’t control what the weather’s going to be. So, it would is not make sense to publish a detailed daily program on this page, only to have to change it later. So we’ll select our shooting locations for any given day according to that day’s weather.
LOCATION |Those are the best location I choose to our photography workshop to cover and discover. In fact, to realizethe best images possible, I’ll select our shooting locations for any given day according to that day’s weather.

I have specific itineraries planned but your schedule could be personalized. Usually my location to shooting are Florence, Pisa ,Siena and Livorno . Also some small ancient villages around the hills like Volterra and San Gimignano. here you will shoot the famous hills and stones towers passing through the vineyards. Finally we can explore the Costa degli Etruschi and island of the Arcipelago Topscano.
