The province of Arezzo was born out of the District of Arezzo, which had become part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in 1826. The Arno River runs through it, as does a portion of the Tiber River. Arezzo is the capital of the province and its origins date to pre-Etruscan times (9th century BC), when it was known as Aritim. Aritim was one of the 12 cities of the Etruscan League, which included Cortona, Chiusi, and Orvieto. It was a very important Roman outpost and, in the Middle Ages, the site of bitter disputes between Florence and Siena. It also has many distinguished buildings, including imposing churches, which are exceptionally well-preserved in Arezzo’s town centre. The province has many delightful hamlets such as:
Anghiari, the place where the famous battle between the troops of Florence and Milano took place, frescoed by Leonardo da Vinci.
Cortona, heart of the Val di Chiana, where Luca Signorelli and Francesco di Giorgio Martini produced admirable works of art. Cortona is also the setting of Frances Mayes’ famous novel (and film), Under the Tuscan Sun.
Sansepolcro sits at the crossroads between the regions of Tuscany, Umbria, and Marche. The town developed around the 11th-century Abbey of San Sepolcro (Holy Sepulcher). It is also the birthplace of one of the greatest 15th-century Tuscan painters, Piero della Francesca.
