CHIANTI, the beauty and taste of Tuscany.

Here students get a first-hand look at one of the

world's great wine areas. They also visit the vineyard

where opponents of the Medici, including a pope,

plotted against the Medici.  Though one of

the Medici rulers were killed, the events would have

a tremendous impact on Italian history and the course

of the world order.   The day also includes a delicious

meal in the Chianti countryside.
