Tuscany is the 12th album by the English progressive rock band Renaissance, released in 2001.[1] After a lengthy hiatus, original members Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford, Terence Sullivan and John Tout came together to record a new album, assisted by Roy Wood; Tout was unavailable for the later sessions and was replaced by Mickey Simmonds.

Although the album led to one London date on 9 March 2001 followed by a short tour of Japan,[3] with Haslam, Dunford, Sullivan and Simmonds augmented by Rave Tesar (keyboards) and David J. Keyes (bass, vocals), Annie Haslam subsequently announced that the band was again disbanding.[citation needed]
