Arezzo

Etruscan, Roman garrison, free medieval town and elegant Renaissance center, Arezzo is a diverse city, which can not be reduced to simplifications.

Inside the Duomo there is the Mary Magdalene by Piero della Francesca. In the medieval Basilica of St. Francis, the Bacci Chapel hosts the cycle of the True Cross, returned to former glory after a long restoration. Realized by Piero della Francesca in 1452, it tells the story of the cross of Christ, from the seed of the tree placed in the mouth of Adam dying up to delivery of the Cross in Jerusalem by Heraclius.
