In this proposal, we outline our goals for a new environmentally sustainable hotel in the Chianti area of the Tuscany region. The adventure began back in 2015 when we decided to revert back to the real values and experiences of nature and make an important change in our lifestyle. We moved from our city life environment in the Chianti Classico region and began the restoration of a rural farmhouse and garden with great enthusiasm. The idea of starting a Boutique Farm Hotel also gave us the…

A text message of phone call is not a risk worth taking while driving. We should not put our lives, or anyone else’s life in danger over a message, status update, or phone call. In many states, and Tuscan, Arizona it is now illegal to be on any mobile device and drive. In some states you are running the risk of getting your driver’s license suspended or even revoked.

Ancient Rome boasted impressive technological feats, using many advancements that were lost in the Middle Ages and not rivaled again until the 19th and 20th centuries. An example of this is Insulated glazing, which wasn't invented again until the 1930s. Many practical Roman innovations were adopted from earlier Greek designs. Advancements were often divided and based on craft. Artisans guarded technologies as trade secrets. Roman civil engineering and military engineering constituted a large…

While the latter on the other hand being what is considered being right by law, tried upon by judge and jury. In order for murder to be morally justifiable, there are still conditions that have to be met.

born in 1452 in Vinci, a small Tuscan village. He was mentored by Verocchio in Florence in Italy, where he developed his skills as an architect, sculptor and painter. This blend of skills ultimately defined Da Vinci and secures his legacy to this day. Da Vinci made a name for himself with his innovations in science and art. Davinci drew upon his experience from his these studies to create drawings such as the Vitruvian man. “The lengths to which Leonardo went in order to establish the universal…

there is no turning back. By the time insurance companies provide help to the sick, many people have grown deep in their mental illness even to the point of an incurable state. Many attribute shootings and mass killings to this fact. For example, the Tuscan killings may have been avoided if the mentally ill killers had the help they needed (Ollove, "Easiest" n.p.). Not only is mental health care saving the person, but it can also save the lives around them. As one author, Pamela Hyde, expresses…

His blurring of the truth was also evident in the text when he described his military…

The Arrival in Bethlehem was painted oil on wood in 1540 by an unknown artist or noted to be Master LC from the Netherlands (LC, Master). This painting is an excellent example of paintings that were left unfinished allowing the under drawing on the wood to be visible.

Italy is home to some of the world’s most prestigious and successful men. One man in particular paved the way for other people to follow. He is none other than Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci was not only a painter, he was also a sculptor, architect, musician, inventor and scientist. There are not many that were gifted in multiple aspects like him. His actions alone coined him the name "The Renaissance Man." On April 15, 1452, Leonardo da Vinci was born in wedlock in a farmhouse on the outside the…
