Casa Forneci Bucine
Forneci House is situated just outside the village of Bucine, located along the stream Ambra and where the Chianti hills meet the upper valley of the river Arno Due to its strategic position Bucine has been an important area of transit since the Roman period, as testified by the ancient bridge of Pogi .
During the Middle Age it was long contended by local noble families and large cities, the village was first under the dominion of the Earls Guidi di Modigliana, of the Ubertini di Chitignano, of the Tarlati and finally under Arezzo and Firenze
Bucine and the Valdambra are still today, thanks to the proximity to the main ways of communication, a strategic area if you wish to taste the famous Chianti wine or visit the main art cities of Tuscany or the peculiar villages of the land of Siena.

Festivals in Toscana
Steeped in centuries of rich history stretching far back through medieval times to the Etruscan era Tuscany has had plenty of time to establish some of the most enticing cultural festivals.
The region recently featured in the opening sequences of James Bond; Quantum of Solace in which a chase scene took place through the preserved streets of Sienna during the historical Palio. A festival of sport and local rivalries The Palio is a unique horse race that takes place in the piazza del publico in the centre of this medieval city.
The sights and sounds of competing contrada, municipal districts named after animals, is hard to beat. Each contrada parades through the streets in the days leading up to the race dressed in ornate historical clothing, banging drums and waving flags with awe-inspiring and well-rehearsed precision. On race days, July 2 and August 16, the city is filled to bursting with a party atmosphere and all the excitement of up close bareback horse riding.
For something a little less exhausting the ancient hilltop town of Montelpulciano hosts the Bravio delle Botti during the last week of August. This picturesque town is famed for its surrounding vineyards and has been hosting the wine festival since the 17th century. A week of different ceremonies and special wine tastings culminates in a barrel rolling contest through the narrow streets.
