About Tuscany
It stretches over the western side of the Apennines and includes the Islands of the Tuscan archipelago.
It lies on the sea to the west and south-west and borders with
Liguria to the north-west,
Emilia-Romagna to the north, the
Marches and Umbria to the east, and
Latium to the south-east.
Its limits are clearly defined to the north but less evident to the east, crossing the main ridge of the Tusco-Emilian Apennines and taking in the upper Val Tiberina, becoming even more uncertain to the south-east and south where they appear to be justified only for historical, linguistic and generally cultural reasons.
