Your Ultimate Guide to Cortona | Exploring Italy

In this video, I show you around the Tuscan town of Cortona. Have you seen the film Under the Tuscan Sun?? It was set and filmed here! I share some Italian unification history, as well as facts about the Etruscan civilizations and Hannibal invading Rome. Walk with me and my mom and dog through Cortona, get some Italian breakfast, eat some gelato, hike to the top of the town to see an old church, and take in the amazing Tuscan views.
