Certaldo, a jewel nestled in the hills of Tuscany, represents an unmissable destination for every tourist looking for an authentic Italian experience. This medieval town, located between Florence and Siena, is famous for being the birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio, author of the famous “Decameron”. Walking through its streets means taking a step back in time: the historic centre, Certaldo Alto, accessible via a funicular, is a wonderful example of preserved medieval architecture, with cobbled alleys and ancient walls.
