picture of bramasole house photoAn original photo of Bramasole by American photographer Margaret Leon and signed by Francis Mayes is being auctioned off by Respite Italia as part of a fundraiser. Bramasole is the villa owned by Francis Mayes and made famous in her book Under the Tuscan Sun (compare prices) about remodeling her villa near the hilltown of Cortona in Tuscany. Here's the ebay link for the Bramasole photo in case you want to offer a bid.

If you'd like to spend a few days or a week in the countryside of Tuscany , take a look at Respite Italia's holiday homes for rent in Tuscany and neighboring Umbria. Each of these homes promises to give two free weeks per year to patients with breast cancer so you can support a good cause while traveling in Italy.
