Cortona Tuscan Sun Festival to return to Tuscany

The festival kicks off on August 4th and is now in its seventh year of entertaining locals and those holidaying in the glorious region.

According to organisers, each year the programme contains "world class concerts" and daily events that span "fine art, film, culinary and wine, fitness and wellness and local culture and history".

The Independent has called it "one of the top ten best summer art festivals in Europe" - and Tuscany holiday makers could visit to see what all the fuss is about.

This year, much-loved actor Sir Anthony Hopkins will appear as a special guest

Artists such as Joshua Bell, Stephane Deneve, Nina Kotova, Danielle de Niese, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Maija Kovalevska, Vlad Mirita, Jaap van Zweden, Michael Guttman and Gisele Ben-Dor will all appear at the festival in Cortona.
