Leaving Rome, you'll head north to cross the Tiber valley to Cortona. This town
has changed little since the Middle Ages, and was most recently depicted in the
Oscar-winning film La Vita e Bella and described by American novelist Frances
Mayes in her book Under the Tuscan Sun. As a result, Cortona is enjoying renewed
popularity. Stroll through the historic center, absorbing the atmosphere of this
