I always enjoy Cortona although it is nothing like that town that was described in "Under the Tuscan Sun" and other novels by Frances Mayes who maybe wrote about it when it was small and compact, when one could get to know the shopkeepers and neighbours. Now it is flash, lovely but commercial, spread out. I understand that because of her descriptions many many Americans visit there and went to her house Bramasole hoping to see her and the garden she described so vividly, so many that she had to move into a different dwelling close by. Many Americans come here to get married, there's very good restaurants and picturesque piazzas
