LANDS OF AREZZO: VAL TIBERINA

The Upper Tiber Valley, known as Valtiberina, is the easternmost edge of Tuscany and
gets its name from the river which runs through it.  In the Feudal Age sturdy castles 
were built , as well as monasteries. The land is rich of different habits, architectural styles
and dialects; it was the birthpalce of great artists as Michelangelo and Piero della
Francesca(San Sepolcro). Surrounded by castles and country churches the medieval town
of Anghiari looks over the valley landscape; on 1440 C.E. the famous battle of Anghiari,
subsequntly painted by Leonardo da Vinci, riaffirmed Florentine rule in Tuscany. Artisan
shops and workrooms of furniture and antique restores enrich the small squares of the town.
