Virginia Woolf in Tuscany: trips to Florence and Fiesole

Virginia Woolf was an avid traveler and visited Tuscany in the early twentieth century.

Among several Italian cities, the English writer reached Florence and Fiesole, two cities that embodied, in her eyes, the historical and artistic soul of the region.


Tuscany exerted a deep fascination on Woolf, fueled as much by the beauty of its landscapes as by the richness of its cultural heritage.

In Florence, Virginia Woolf could immerse herself in a vibrant environment, inhabited by an intense Anglo-Saxon community of artists, intellectuals and writers who had chosen the city as a refuge and source of inspiration.


Among the most significant encounters she experienced during her Tuscan travels was with Bernard Berenson, a celebrated American art critic and the owner of Villa I Tatti, a splendid mansion located in the hills of Fiesole, which became a point of reference for the international cultural elite of the time.
