The Duchy of Tuscany (Toscano Italian: Ducatto de' Toscana) is a part of the United Duchies of Italy. The capital is officially at Siena, because the District of Florence is its own autonomous region. The Dukes of Tuscany are from the de' Ottaiano house, a cadet branch of the Medici.
History[]
The Duchy of Tuscany was the first region of the United Duchies of Italy. It declared independence from Spain on April 4, 1944. It then joined the Italian independence movement on September 23, 1944, and the new nation of Italy on October 6, 1946.
