Anghiari, One Of The Most Beautiful LittleTowns In Italy!

In the corner of Tuscany lies the charming medieval town of Anghiari where visitors can delight in the historical, cultural and picturesque riches that they’ll find in this treasured place. Anghiari was of extreme importance during the Middle Ages because of its strategic position in the hills. The famous Battle of Anghiari took place here in 1440 when Florentine troops, in alliance with the Pope, defeated the Milan army to win control of the region.

There are a wealth of places to visit if you’re here to explore the art and history of the town; it’s home to famous Renaissance artists, Michelangelo and Piero della Francesca. Tourists wishing to stay for a few days have a wonderful selection of villas with pool and rental accommodation with excellent reviews in Anghiari to choose from. Explore some of the local castles including the supposedly haunted Sorci Castle! Once lived in by mercenary captain, Baldaccio d’Anghiari in the 1200s, it’s rumoured that on summer evenings, one can hear the rattles of Baldaccio’s armour as his ghost floats around the castle!

There are more towns in Tuscany than most of us will ever hear about, much less visit. When you are planning your trip to Tuscany its best to plan ahead for where you want to go; what do you definitely want to see? Some people make sure to visit San Gimignano, the small town with the big towers. Some people have to see Florence, the big city of Tuscany with plenty of history, architecture and beauty to keep you busy during your stay. Then there are the wine regions that the wine lovers are sure to visit and lovers of "Under the Tuscan Sun" may want to stay or at least make a stop in Cortona. The list goes on and on...

The point is, there is a LOT to see. So some cities may be looked over, or driven past, or maybe you just don't know about them yet. One of those towns that you may not have heard of, or may not know as much about is Arezzo: home to the oldest operating bank in the world, home to the blue festival ArezzoWave for years, and location for many of the scenes in "Life is Beautiful". Unfortunately, the ArezzoWave has outgrown itself and has been moved this year to Florence, but that is indicative of the town and its feel. It doesn't have the big city feel you'll get in Florence, Rome or Milan.

Giorgio Vasari was born in Arezzo, Tuscany in July 1511. He grew up with a keen interest in the arts and had quite a talent for painting, writing, architectural design and history research. In 1529 he travelled to Rome where he studied the masters of the Renaissance.

Those wishing to stay and explore the areas where Vasari was born and lived in later life can choose from a lovely range of vacation rentals in Arezzo or last minute holiday deals in Florence.

Vasari was inspired by the sheer wealth of talent that was harvested and blossomed during the Age of Enlightenment and worked as a painter with good success for quite some time. But he began to take an even greater interest in designing buildings and so began his next career!

If you have an interest in learning about history and some of the masters of the Renaissance arts then you may have heard about the famous poet called Francesco Petrarch who invented the sonnet. A sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines that can use any number of formal rhyme schemes to be constructed.

He was born in Arezzo in 1304 and was commonly known simply as ‘Petrarch’. His birthplace was a source of great inspiration to him and is even quoted as saying that Arezzo is the place where he ‘saw the light’ and wrote much of his poetry.

The city of Arezzo offers a great range of holiday villas for tourists who wish to stay here for a day or two. Visit the Casa del Petrarca museum here that is believed to be built over the ruins of Petrarch’s birth house in Arezzo.
