Those who wish to enjoy culture, architecture and music in Tuscany can bring all of these together in Pisa every autumn, when the Anima Mundi Festival takes place.

Concerts of sacred music produced by leading composers such as Britten, Schubert, Bach and Brahms are performed at this event in locations sited in and around the cathedral by leading orchestras from around Europe from mid-September to early October.

This event may be just one of the reasons those looking to buy a home overseas are drawn to the Tuscany property market.

Next to the cathedral is the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, which, thanks to work undertaken in recent years to shore up its shaky foundations and reduce its lean, is no longer at risk of toppling over.

Visitors to Tuscany may also enjoy its fine vineyards, renaissance history and pleasant climate, something permanent residents can do even more.
