THE IDEAL RELOCATION FOR EXPATS IN TUSCANY
CORTONA: ANCIENT HISTORY, CONTEMPORARY VALUE
Located at an altitude of approximately 500 meters above sea level, Cortona is nestled in a hilly area, overlooking the entire Valdichiana. The origins of Cortona are shrouded in mystery, but the central role this city played in the Etruscan civilization from the 7th to 8th centuries AD is undeniable.
Of great historical and artistic importance, Cortona is today a favorite destination not only for international tourism, but also for expatriate relocation and real estate investments. Its tourism vocation has intensified in recent decades, also encouraged by the emergence of events and festivals dedicated to art, music, and antiques. The publication of novels and film productions set in Cortona, such as the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun” (2003), has further contributed to spreading the city’s fame on an international level.
