Description
We are located in the heart of the Upper Tiber Valley, a unique place of extraordinary natural beauty in which to immerse yourself in wonderful dream landscapes and admire breathtaking views while breathing in art, history, culture, archeology and spirituality.
Located in a strategic geographical position, at the crossroads between Tuscany, Umbria, Romagna and Marche, a meeting point between different civilizations (Umbrian and Etruscan, Byzantine and Lombard), characterized by an incredibly varied nature, in some places spectacular and unspoiled, dotted here and there by hermitages, monasteries and abbeys, ancient farmhouses, parish churches and castles. In a vast natural amphitheater bordered by mountains and hills, the plain crossed by the Tiber river opens up and its gentle and green hills are the scenery around which ancient medieval villages such as Sansepolcro and Anghiari arise.
Here, thanks to a wide choice of artistic, cultural, religious, naturalistic and gastronomic itineraries, you can discover the works of Piero della Francesca, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo Da Vinci, retrace the footsteps of San Francesco d'Assisi among hermitages, churches and monasteries, descend on foot, on horseback or by bicycle through paths within parks and nature reserves, with changing nature and not yet marked by the hand of man, and enjoy the best of typical Tuscan cuisine made of cured meats, mushrooms, truffles , chestnuts and good wine and oil.
In this scenario, in the province of Arezzo, stands the enchanting medieval village of Sansepolcro, the cradle of Renaissance culture, which gave birth to famous personalities of science, literature and art such as Piero della Francesca, one of the greatest painters of the '400, and Luca Pacioli, a distinguished mathematician friend of Leonardo Da Vinci.
The mythical origin of the city, formerly known as Burgus Sancti Sepulchri, is traditionally attributed to two pilgrim saints, Arcano and Egidio who, returning from the Holy Land at the end of the 10th century, stopped in this valley where, for a divine sign, they decided to stay and erect a small chapel to house the Holy Relics of the Holy Sepulcher that they brought with them from Jerusalem.
Defended by the ancient city walls and the Medici fortress, in the historic center of Sansepolcro, which has preserved all the characteristics of its authenticity as an open-air museum to the present day, you can admire a succession of harmonious and elegant medieval and Renaissance noble palaces , narrow alleys full of charm, as well as numerous churches full of frescoes and museums that house works of rare beauty and inestimable value, making it always a destination of great value for lovers of cities of art.
Absolutely not to be missed is the Civic Museum Piero della Francesca, where you can admire the splendid paintings of the master including the Polyptych of Mercy and The Resurrection, the millenary Cathedral, which preserves precious testimonies such as the Ascension of Christ by Perugino and the Aboca Museum, dedicated to herbs and health over the centuries.
The urban landscape of Sansepolcro is characterized by buildings with exposed stone, bricks and plaster and there are also interesting details of the ancient urban furniture, from the pavements to the portals with the many coats of arms of the local noble families that decorate the buildings.
A place where you can always perceive the deep bond with local traditions, as evidenced by the annual performance of suggestive events such as the Palio della Balestra, the Flag Games and the Renaissance re-enactments, in which the city dresses up and squares, streets and alleys explode in a riot of sounds and colors.
However, Sansepolcro is not only a city of art, but it is also a center characterized by a strong commercial vocation that offers all the services, as evidenced by the numerous historical and food and wine shops, the large number of shops and boutiques that offer a wide range of high quality products typical of Made in Italy shopping, the liveliness of the markets and fairs that traditionally hosts from week to week and the atmosphere of the numerous typical bars and restaurants.
