The Idea of Vivere la Toscana

“Vivere la Toscana” is an idea of “Diverso CMI”. Its main purpose is the knowledge and the purchase online of homemade and wine and food products  of Tuscany, by fostering in a second time the growth of the qualitative tourism. The e-commerce portal allows the local managers and craftsmen to promote and sell their own products online, by spreading in the same time the regional culture and the gastronomic and manufacturing tradition.

By decreasing the supply chain and the intermediate stages and, as a consequence, the reduction of the final price, “Vivere la Toscana” gives the local producer new sale chance; therefore, the customer feels the quality of the products, their tracking and the opportunity of a direct contact of the producer in the land. Thus, “Diverso CMI” supplies a vital supporting activity, both to the local producers and to the consumers. Moreover, the users can find in a sole website all the excellences of the Region, in order to “Live” Tuscany in all its aspects, flavours and values.
