Tuscany is a region in central Italy with an area of about 23,000 square kilometres (8,900 square miles) and a population of about 3.8 million inhabitants. The regional capital is Florence (Firenze). Tuscany is the second-most-popular Italian region for travellers in Italy, after Veneto.

Roughly triangular in shape, Tuscany has a western coastline on the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea, which includes the Tuscan Archipelago (Elba being the most significant island).

Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, artistic legacy, and its influence on high culture. It is regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and of the foundations of the Italian language. The prestige established by the Tuscan dialect's use in literature by Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini led to its subsequent elaboration as the language of culture throughout Italy. It has been home to many figures influential in the history of art and science, and contains well-known museums such as the Uffizi and the Palazzo Pitti. Tuscany is also known for its wines, including Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino di Scansano, Brunello di Montalcino, the famous “Super Tuscan” wines from Bolgheri and white Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Having a strong linguistic and cultural identity, Tuscany is sometimes considered

" a nation within a nation. "
