Autumn 2012 I made a short road trip through Tuscany and Umbria. I visited all the obvious places, the Val d'Orcia, Siena, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, one not so obvious place, the [Carrara Marble Quarry](https://www.ivarhagendoorn.com/photos/carrara-marble-quarry/) and of course, the most obvious place, [Florence](https://www.ivarhagendoorn.com/photos/florence/).

Tuscany is, of course, known both for its wine and olive oil

A cheese shop in Pienza. Unfortunately, I couldn't take much home as I was travelling by plane.
