Hey guys! I just got a new puppy (i'll add her picture) and I was looking for a list or suggestions of some great dog beaches in Tuscany or even beyond (it could turn into a post sometime).

Thank you for this tip Kathy! Is there anything particular sight/restaurant that you love there? I'd love to know!
Hello Jordan, thank you for your kind comment. We've actually commissioned all of the articles we need for the issue but welcome any travel advice/memories (like the ones you have suggested) that we can include in a selection of readers' tips!
We are so happy to hear this and it's definitely motivation to spark up more fascinating conversations here in our community about diving deeper into various parts around Italy. Honestly, with travel being at such a standstill, we're all living for stories that touch the spirits. So thank you all for participating!
Thank you all for bringing this up - this is the latest wallpaper and we'll be continuing this monthly as before https://www.italymagazine.com/download/italy-wallpaper-february-2021-ravello
Oh my gosh, guys these stories are so wonderful. Thank you ALL for sharing. I know I am really wanting to go back to this area of Italy and clearly it's a special place for many. Grazie a voi!
Thank you for letting us know, we weren't sure many people were enjoying them so I'll let the team know your feedback!
I should also note that we have an article coming out tomorrow about this very topic. Just to give you an example of how things are here in Florence - people are still unsure about how much they can "move" in their own city. We're far from normality as it was before... Vediamo and I would love to rent a boat. Sounds like a dream!
Personally, I think it's going to be at least a year before International tourism returns to Italy because every country seems to be doing their own thing. This may drag out the situation even longer. Domestic tourism will likely return within the year but only if businesses can adhere to the strict sanitation guidelines which is tough for many of Italy's small businesses. At the moment, we can't even leave our regions (unless for work/essential reasons) so only time will tell...
We are working on an article about this now asking a local real estate agent. I personally have noticed more properties for sale here in Florence but it definitely seems that they are the ones aimed at tourist rentals (small - Airbnb like). It does feel very limbo like in all senses.
does it work now? https://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/auxiliary-verb-essere
