Tuscany's "sweet life": truffle hunting, an artichoke festival, the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Tuscany's Dolce Vita Rick Steves' Europe

Premiered October 07, 2006
Tuscany's Dolce Vita

The small towns and rural charms of Tuscany give us a healthy dose of the "sweet life" as we hunt for truffles in an oak forest, nibble through an artichoke festival, share a farmhouse feast, climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and ride a classic convertible through the cypress groves of Mona Lisa’s back yard.
