I recommended everyone check out the Tuscany Chic Travel Blog. It's full of great information about Tuscany including articles about travel, accommodations, food and itineraries.  A recent article about Siena is packed full of  places to visit while visiting Siena.  There is also an excellent article about Cortona, one of my favorite cities in Tuscany.
