FOLLOWING THE SUN: Robert Redford is expected for a poetry reading at the sixth edition of the Tuscan Sun Festival in Cortona, Tuscany, on Aug. 8. The festival, running Aug. 2 to 12, was created by Barrett Wissman, president of IMG Artists; cellist Nina Kotova, and Frances Mayes, author of the best-selling “Under the Tuscan Sun,” based on her life experiences in Cortona. Redford is slated to read poetry by Robert Frost, among other favorites. A performance by the Bolshoi Ballet, and music by Natasha Paremski, Joshua Bell and José Cura are some of the top draws to the festival — in addition to art exhibitions, movie screenings, wine and olive oil tastings and cooking lessons.
