| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tuscany |
| | Although at the beginning of Cosimo's reign there were several conspiracies, especially by the exiled families, the Fuorisciti, the Florentines gradually became accustomed to the absolute government of the ruler. | | | Cosimo III was followed by his second son Giovan Gastone (1723-37), who permitted the country to be governed by his unscrupulous chamberlain, Giuliano Dami. | | | Tuscany, or Tuscia as it was called in the Middle Ages, became a part of the Frankish Empire during the reign of Charlemagne and was formed a margravate, the margrave of which was also made the ruler several times of the Duchy of Spoleto and Camerino. |

| | Tuscany 1848-49 Under the rule of the Grand Duke Leopold II Tuscany enjoyed a relatively more liberal regime than other Italian states. | | | In 1847, following the example of Pope Pius IX during his so-called liberal phase, the grand duke had conceded numerous reforms, reforms to which the Austrian Chancellor Metternich had strongly objected threatening to occupy the Tuscany should Leopold persist in liberalizing his government. | | | Elsewhere in the duchy workers went on strike for higher wages; the unemployed demanded a program of public works to create jobs; artisans protested the introduction of machinery in some trades; and rising prices and rents caused general discontent. |

| | Eventually, Tuscany became part of the papacy lands, causing a long-lasting strife between popes and emperors, and their backers — the Guelph (pro-papal) and Ghibelline (pro-imperial). | | | Under the Medici, the ruling family of Florence, Tuscany became a grand duchy in 1569, and so a powerful political and economic force in addition to being one of the main intellectual and artistic centers in Europe at the time. | | | The Etruscans are believed to have domesticated and bred the forbearers of such grapes as the Sangiovese and the Lambrusco from those early feral grapes. |

| | Rustico: Tuscany |
| | The Etruscans, who likely hailed from Asia Minor, settled in Tuscany around 1,000 B.C., planting vines and olive groves and spreading their influence as far as the islands of Corsica and Elba; the name Toscana (Tuscany in Italian) evolved from the name Etruria, as the land of the Etruscans was called. | | | The last time my husband and I were in Tuscany, we stopped for lunch at an unassuming roadside trattoria near Lucca. | | | The regional capital, Florence, was the nerve center of the Renaissance, and later the capital of the newly formed Kingdom of Italy from 1865 to 1871. |
