The Inspiration:
When I traveled to Italy a few years back, I gained a great appreciation for the people, food, and unique architecture I saw on my trip. When I returned home, I missed these things and decided to immortalize them in LEGO bricks. I did my best to recreate Italy's culture and environment with The Tuscan Brick, from the classic gelaterias and the classic restaurants to the delicious, homemade food.
This would be a great LEGO set because it is interactive and also highly detailed, a great set for both amateur and advanced LEGO builders! It's also a great set to display or even combine with other LEGO modular buildings.
