More About The Prize:
The fabulous house is in the Tuscan city of Sommocolonia. Sommocolonia means “the colony at the summit” and was founded by the Romans some twenty centuries ago! It is a lovely hilltop town, where on a clear day it does appear you “can see forever!” Wondering what to do in the Tuscan region of Italy? There are so many places to hike in the Tuscan mountains and picnic near its picturesque lakes. You can enjoy ancient ramparts and thermal baths in the nearby town of Lucca. The Grotta del Vento (the wind caves) in the Garfagnana region are not to be missed! Or why not take one of many offered cooking classes in the area and learn to make bruschetta, porchetta, and Paneforte, three of Tuscany’s famous mouth watering dishes!
Want to take a day trip? Pisa is only 40 miles away! Go see its famous leaning tower and eat some gelato. The city of Firenze (Florence) is just 70 miles away, and it is here that you can see Michelangelo’s statue of David along with several Botticelli’s at the Accademia. You won’t want to miss the world famous Uffizi gallery or the Duomo either.

Come on, help a kindergartner out!
