You arrive as the road eases out of Florence and the Tuscan hills fold into flatter farmland, the Arno tracing a patient line toward the coast. In roughly 1–1.5 hours by private car (about 80–90 km), the white marble of Piazza dei Miracoli appears like a bright punctuation on a green lawn — the Leaning Tower leaning into the sky as if testing gravity.
