It allegedly began with this painting:
T
he subject matter wasn’t new, but the setting was...The people of Renaissance Florence and surrounding Tuscany were living outdoors and loving it, and the painters were celebrating it. The architecture began reflecting this trend—both
the classical and vernacular., and the ideal exists to this day. As with most vernacular architecture, Tuscan was no exception...it took the principles of classical architecture and stripped it down to its barest necessities. The thick walls
and tile roofs moderated the temperate climate, and incorporated the seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Tuscan Vernacular Architecture still responds to that ancient ideal, whether it is in Cortona or Sonoma .
