In recent times,
Tuscany seems to be trying to shed its mantle as a quiet, quaint, rustic region
and update itself as a key spot for all sorts of activities. As if the busy
concert and show schedule for the summer of 2012 was not proof enough of this,
the region has also been selected to host the World Road Cycling Championships.
For a week in
September of 2013, Tuscany villas are bound to be in even higher
demand than usual, as champion cyclists flock to Southern Italy to whisk along
the region’s scenic road itineraries. The 2013 World Road routes will also pass
through Florence, Lucca, Pistoia and Montecatini Terme - four typically Tuscan
cities, each with its own wealth of cultural landmarks, traditions and historic
facts. This is the perfect opportunity to combine a typical tour of the region
with attendance of a major sporting event. Fans of racing or cycling should not
pass up on this chance of getting to know a new region while following the
sport they love!
But the
Championships themselves are not the only attraction surrounding the 2013
WRCC’s. Visitors to the region and those renting Tuscany
villas will also have the chance to traverse large portions of
the official itineraries, whether at their own, leisurely pace or emulating the
professionals and trying to beat their own personal times! In either case,
there are plenty of stunning natural features to be taken in and appreciated
(or not, as the case may be!).
The 2013 World
Road Cycling Championships seem, therefore, to serve as further proof that
Tuscany is a region rife with potential, which can easily offer much more than
good wine, sprawling scenery and traditionally-designed Tuscany villas. The southern
Italian region is, little by little, shaping itself into a haven for all kinds
of activities, and should undergo an interesting evolution in upcoming years.
