You arrive at Cortona with small feet padding over warm stone and a guide who talks in short stories as easily as in history. The tour opens at the Basilica of Santa Margherita: frescoed walls that catch a child's curiosity and a sanctuary that rewards a quiet minute. From there the route drops to the Belvedere; the valley spreads like a slow-moving river, olive groves daring you to point out shapes in the fields.
