Route was very scenic. Beautiful Tuscan countryside. The climbs were about right I would say, about the same as the French trip.
Overall this was a real experience. I had not been to Italy before and this gave me a very good taste of all the different parts of the country. Cities were brilliant (Siena) and the mix of landscapes was incredible.
