Season 7 Preview — Florentine Delights and Tuscan Side-Trips

The seventh season of Rick Steves' Europe — 14 new episodes — debuts this October on public television (check your local listings). In this second of two episodes on Florence, we'll enjoy more of the exquisite artistic treasures of the city that propelled Europe out of the Middle Ages. Then we'll side-trip to a couple of rival cities and cultural capitals in their own right, Pisa and Lucca, where we'll marvel at a tipsy tower, circle a city on its ramparts, and enjoy some Puccini in his hometown.
