Subject: Italy birding?

I will be in Tuscany the first 2 weeks of August, and would like to get in
some birding in between enjoying the art, history, pasta and chianti. From
what I?ve learned, Tuscany is pretty birdless in the summer, and Italy in
general is not especially bird friendly. Any suggestions, hints, tips,
contacts, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I?d like to hook up with a
local birder and/or guide (English speaking, as my Italian?s more than a
little deficient!), if possible.

Thanks for any help.
