Surrounding Area
Arezzo* Is An Important Historical, Artistic And
Cultural Centre, With Its Routs Dating Back To
The Etruscan Era, It Soon Became An Independent
Town Going Through The Hegemony Of The Great
Medici Family Who Had Just Hardly Beaten The
Ghibellini, These Last, Between The Xi And Xii
Centuries, Had Embellished The Town With
Beautiful Churches And Palaces Giving Still Today
A Strong Identity To The Historical Centre.
Cortona* The History Of Cortona Starts When The
Etruscan Erect The Town Walls, Claiming It As The
Capital Of The Lucumonia *name Given To Every One
Of The Twelve States*. Allied Of Rome At The End
Of The Iv Century And Governed By Florence, In
1411 The City Is Radically Reorganized And Its
Urban Disposition Is Changed To Give Place To A
Perfect Alliance Of Political And Religious Poles
Around Every Square.
Many Notable Italian Artists Have Passed Through
The Town Walls Leaving An Important Heritage Of
Culture And Art. Luca Signorelli Between The
400*s And 500*s, In The 600*s The Painter And
Architect Piero Da Cortona Are Just A Few
Examples.
Craftsmanship*s Art Is Today The Most Valuable
Tradition Present In The Historical Center Of
Town, The Most Famous Being Restoration, But Also
The Antiques Trade.
Sansepolcro* Main Productive And Commercial
Centre Of The Valtiberina, San Sepolcro Appears
Like A Superb Vast Amphitheatre At The Bottom Of
The Last Trace Of The Tuscan Apennine. It*s
People Are Fierce To Remember This As The City Of
Piero *piero Della Francesca* The Great
Renaissance Master. A Medieval Tradition Tells
That This Town Was Created Around A Sacellum
Built In The 934 To Protect The Relics Brought
From The Santo Sepolcro *the Holly Sepulchre*.
City Of Art Sansepolcro Portrays The Typical
Characteristics Of The Roman Construction, The
Rectangular Shape In Which It Was Built And The
Orthogonal Plain Geometry Of The Field, But The
Very Distinctive City*s Walls Are From The
Fifteenth Century.
Every Year Since 1951, On The Second Sunday Of
September, It Takes Place In San Sepolcro The
Palio Della Balestra In The Suggestive Scenery Of
Piazza Torre Di Berta, Embraced Between
Renaissance Palaces, The Crossbowmen Of
Sansepolcro And The Gubbio Compete For The
Banner. In Accordance With Ancient Traditions The
Herald Reads, In The Morning, The Challenge
Announcement To The Eugubini Rivals. In The
Afternoon, After The Benediction Of The Arms, The
Crossbowmen Of Both Towns Enter The Square,
Announced By The Roll Of The Drums And The Sound
Of The Clarions, While The Flag Wavers Throw The
Flags In The Air, Representing The Colors Of Each
One Of The Quarters. The Fencers Of Each Of The
Two Towns Alter Themselves For Their Shooting
Turn, Dressed With The Costumes Of Those Times,
That Piero Della Francesca So Truly Testified In
His Paintings. In This Atmosphere Of Past Times
While, In The Silence, We Can Hear The Arrow
Running Into The Cornels, The Square Rejoices
With The Magic Of The Ancient Tournaments.
The Saracino Tournament*
The Priors Had Already Mentioned This Traditional
Tournament Back In 1535, In The Oldest Document
Known To History Which Refers To La Giostra Del
Saracino. The Joust Takes Place Every Year On The
Third Sunday Of June And The First Sunday Of
September Where The Four Quarters Of The Town
Join Together. After The Colorful Historic
Procession Of 311 Participants And 31 Horses,
Emotions Start To Grow With The Episcopal
Benediction Of The Armati At The Stairs Of The
Duomo. The Next Phases In The Piazza Grande Are
Stressed By A True Plot Droned In 1961 By The
Scene Director Fulvio Tului. Finally The
Tournament Gets Started With An Amazing Scene
Which Truly Remakes The Ones From Renaissance
Times Where Cavaliers, The Giostratori Against
The Saracino Ride Against Each Other, This Last
One Being Armed With A Mazzafrusto *ancient Mace
With Several Whips And Balls Of Steel At The
Ends*. The Winner Is Declared The One Who
Gathered The Highest Number Of Points Hitting The
Shield.
