THE DISPOSABLE SERIES | TUSCANY ON THE ROAD

It is no secret that due to the sadly-well-known health emergency that has wrecked the beginning of the new decade, summer 2020 is all about the discovery of the pearls that everyone’s own country have to offer. Lucky us, Italy has more than many hidden treasures to discover and look after.

Here’s how the first destination of our summer road tour has been Tuscany, a region known for its chameleonic spirit, able to offer its visitors every kind of glimpse. From the sea to the countryside to the cities of art.

Nevertheless these disposables are as delicious as the kebab we ate for our trip’s last night of this amazing adventure among the Renaissance statues of Florence, the tasty Pici del Chianti and the crystal clear waters of Monte Argentario.
