Etruscan Influences
|
From here, an interesting assortment of day trips
is possible. The beach cities of the Etruscan Coast are within easy reach,
including San Vincenzo, the Gulf of Baratti, Follonica, Punta Ala and
Castiglione della Pescaia. Be sure to venture up to the ancient Etruscan
city of Populonia for the extraordinary views of the sea.
If you are curious about the Island of Elba, drive down to Piombino and take a ferry operated by Mobylines into the city of Portoferraio.
Before we left Querciolaie, Rolando took us through his workshop and sculpture rooms. His new passion is in the creation of works of light that combine sculpture with illumination. He is generous with his photographs and tells us stories about his exhibitions in Brussels and elsewhere.
Footnote: If you are interested in purchasing Rolando's works or learning
more about him, please contact us. |

Inland day trips should include Volterra, with its restaurants and
Etruscan museum, and Massa Marittima, a medieval hill town in the midst of
one of Italy's great wine producing regions.
If you stay at Querciolaie and Rolando is not there, it is because he has
gone off to one of his exhibitions in another city.
