Montecatini, Italy

Day 9 - Continue your journey through the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy to Montecatini, in Tuscany. Emilia-Romagna is the heartland of central Italy, a rich agricultural area—one of the most prosperous in the country. On the way, visit the Fossoli transit camp and experience a darker aspect of European history. See one of the most famous buildings in Europe when you travel to Pisa, whose powerful navy once dominated the Mediterranean. Stop at the Square of Miracles, where you’ll view some of the best examples of Romanesque architecture in Italy, including the Leaning Tower. Begun in 1173, the Tower started to tilt even before the third level was finished in 1274; it was finally completed in 1350.
