For the success of a picnic are necessary three factors:

Usually it starts with the choice of venue. A picnic can be done almost anywhere! Can be arranged in your back yard, in a City Park, on the shores of the Lake or the sea, in the mountains or in the countryside.
The Tuscany is dotted with parks and meadows, ideal places to enjoy some time in the outdoors.
