Meaning and background
The story behind Tuscany
Tuscany is a region in central Italy known for cities such as Florence and Siena, historic towns and a distinctive landscape. Its name belongs to a geographic tradition linked with the Tuscans and ancient Etruscans, not to a timeless personality trait. As a dog name it is a straightforward place-name choice. Someone might have a personal reason for the association, but that cannot be inferred from the catalogue entry.
