Wayne:
Sorry that I don't know the directions to the DTC near Pisa, but I
urge you to go to Brunnenburg and see Pound's daughter.
I know you are going to be in Tuscany, but if you can get up to the
Alto Adige area, you should definitely go to the castle. Besides a
wonderful agricultural museum, there is a Pound "museum" room which is
open to the public.
From Milano (or from Florence), take the train to Bolzano and then
the local train (which only takes a few minutes) to Merano. When you
get off the train, go to the taxi stand out front and ask the driver to
take you to Brunnenburg. They have a set price for going up the
mountain to the castle. The view is spectacular, and Mary de Rachewiltz
is a most charming person. There will be American students studying
there and staying in the "croft." (The castle is closed on Tuesdays.)
Have a great trip.
