A visit to Lucca to taste the wines of the Colline Lucchesi and extra-virgin olive oil of Lucca PDO also brings you close to the locations chosen by Spike Lee for his film Miracle in St. Anna, which was filmed in this area. The wines of Chianti, with their violet and plum scents and fruity, harmonic flavours, bring the film enthusiast to the views that Bernardo Bertolucci chose for Stealing Beauty.
A trip down the "wine roads" of Vino Orcia, stopping for tastings of the Orcia DOC red, is also a trip through the locations of the classics Romeo and Juliet, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, and Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
Love Roberto Benigni? Visit Arezzo, Castiglion Fiorentino and Montevarchi, where the Tuscan director filmed the Oscar-winning Life is Beautiful.
