Italians love to walk. It is part of everyday life. During nice weather, families will often go for walks after dinner in their town’s main streets or along the beach walks. On Sunday, whether one stays at home or visits another area, everyone is out walking.

When I visit Italy and eat my way through my stay, I do not gain weight. I am convinced it is because I do so much walking when I am there. It is a wonderful way to relax, digest, take in the sites and feel at home.

You can take some great walks in Tuscany this year –from the mountains to the coast to everywhere in between with the Tuscan Coast and Islands Walking Festival 2009:

Step after step in order to gain time. A sequence of slow movements that acquire a different meaning in accordance to the setting that welcomes and guides them, drawing an ideal path on a non existing map, countersigned by laps which take shape and sense in a territory that is not merely beneath ones feet and in ones eyes but transcends the confines of geography stretching its roots into the heart and mind.
Amidst the nature protected by Parks, in sign of conviviality, the Walking Festival multiplies 6 Natural Parks in hundreds of events, obtaining as a result a feast ideally capable of eliminating the sea that divides the Coast from the Islands, a sequence of steps that follow one another leading to the discovery of extraordinary places, a meeting between the desire of knowledge and the necessity of sharing ones emotions and experiences.
