Explore cultural diversity on a Tuscany holiday

Diversity is the key concept driving the event, which combines art forms from architecture to dance to theatre.

African immigration in particular is the focus of this year's festival, with events held at the Stazione Leopolda concentrating on how the arrival of new residents from Africa has shaped European identity and art.

While visiting Florence on a Tuscany villa holiday, visitors could take advantage of the city's numerous cultural attractions, which include works by Michelangelo and Da Vinci.

The Galleria dell'Academia houses the former's famous state of David, while the Uffizi Gallery is another highlight not to be missed.

And what better reason to visit Florence than the Fabbrica Europa, which has in the past featured appearances by Odin Teatret with Eugenio Barba, and Lucinda Childs and Erna Omarsdottir.
