Old Paths, New Routes
Where Tradition Leads and New Stories Begin

In Tuscany’s slow season, when the landscape settles into a gentler rhythm and familiar places reveal new perspectives, Andrea Grisdale begins the next series of Italian Routes. Moving beyond the expected, she follows the region’s older paths, meeting the people who continue to shape its identity through patience, craft, and an enduring connection to the land. From the open countryside to historic towns shaped by centuries of exchange, she discovers how tradition here is not preserved behind glass, but lived every day.

Along the way, Andrea encounters guardians of heritage whose work bridges past and present. With the Butteri, Tuscany’s cowboys, she explores a culture rooted in resilience and respect for nature, before turning to the kitchens where local chefs reinterpret history through flavour and creativity. Each meeting reveals how innovation grows strongest when grounded in memory, and how hospitality, like the landscape itself, evolves without losing sight of where it began.

As ancient roads stretch toward the horizon, Andrea reflects on the quiet confidence of a region that does not rush to impress. Here, luxury is found in authenticity, in time taken, and in the people who continue to walk familiar paths while creating something entirely new.
