Tuscany, Italy

14 May - 17 May 2027
Tuscany is one of Italy’s most important regions for its historical, artistic, economic and cultural landscape. Known for its exceptional quality of life, culinary delights and rich cultural heritage, it remains one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe.
Florence, the city that inspired the genius of Dante and Leonardo da Vinci, is the cradle of the Renaissance. Home to masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s David and the Uffizi Gallery, Florence offers an unparalleled cultural experience. With iconic landmarks including the Cathedral, Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria, the city is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the world.
Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a city of art, culture and tradition. Famous for its medieval charm and the historic Palio horse race, Siena has preserved its character for centuries and offers visitors an authentic Italian experience.
The Cantate Toscana Festival celebrates its tenth edition in 2027, offering choirs the opportunity to perform and explore the beauty of Tuscany while sharing music with ensembles from around the world.
