Those keen on buying Tuscany property may find the event provides another reason to invest in the area and enjoy its varied attractions.

Florence itself is famous for its renaissance architecture, history and art that has led to it having United Nations world heritage status, while Pisa contains the famous leaning tower.

The tower was in danger of collapse until recently, but a project completed last year saw it partially straightened.

According to engineers working on the tower, it is now safe for another 300 years.
