Before You Die: Walk through Cornfields by Catherine Fairweather

Italy, Tuscany: Walk through cornfields and olive groves studded with poppies in May to Sant Antimo, 10km south of Montalcino in Tuscany. Announced by a long line of cypresses this is a perfect Romanesque church, part of a 9th century Benedictine monastery founded by Charlemagne. Go in the late afternoon in time to listen to the Gregorian chant of the monks who still live there. Catherine Fairweather
