Unesco Sites of Italy: Medici Villas and Gardens in Tuscany

Twelve villas and two ornamental gardens scattered throughout the Tuscan region constitute a Unesco World Heritage site that testifies to the influence exercised by the Medici family on modern European culture through the patronage of the arts. 

Built between the 15th and 17th centuries, they represent an original system of rural buildings designed in harmony with nature, and dedicated to leisure, the arts and knowledge.
