You roll out of Montecatini Terme under a low Tuscan sun and the landscape immediately takes hold: soft, cultivated hills punctuated by cypress lines, vineyards pricking the slopes like rows of green stitches. The electric motor hums; the countryside leans in, offering views toward Vinci’s terracotta roofs and the distant spine of the Apennines.
