Tuscany is divided into 10 provinces, each of which has numerous natural beauties and sights to offer: Florence, Livorno, Grosseto, Pisa, Lucca, Massa-Carrara, Pistoia, Siena, Arezzo and Prato. The capital of Tuscany is the city of Florence, which is known for its numerous cultural treasures and historical buildings. Italy was hit much harder by the financial crisis than many other European countries, and some consequences are still to be seen today: Corrected for inflation, some of the prices are still a quarter below the market price in 2007. For many Italy enthusiasts, this means excellent opportunities to buy their dream property at very fair prices.
