Cortona: Of Etruscan origin, Cortona is set on one of the slopes of Mount S. Egidio and overlooks the Val di Chiana. It still retains its Etruscan and Medieval walls that enclose fine stone buildings, narrow paved Roman perpendicular streets, with resultant beautiful sights and fantastic views.
Monte San Savino: It dates back to medieval times. Its most interesting buildings are inside the main walls: the Cassero, Gothic architecture of Sienese style, the S. Chiara Church (now private and closed to the public) that has some nice terracottas by Sansovino and Della Robbia. Along Corso Sangallo one finds the Loggia dei Mercanti, by Sansovino, and opposite the Palazzo di Monte ( now Town Hall ) by Antonio da Sangallo il Vecchio. Both are renaissance buildings, the former is particularly interesting for its fine portico, and the latter for its architectural layout, its massive facade and its picturesque garden.
Sansepolcro: Originally built as oratory to keep the relics of the Holy Sepulchre, then powerful Abbey of the Camaldoli monks, Sansepolcro remains as the original small urban centre decorated by fine renaissance palaces. Famous especially for giving birth to Piero della Francesca in the XV century, it exhibits several masterpieces of the artist like the "Madonna della Misericordia" and the "Resurrection" in its Town Museum. The Cathedral has several artworks of the XIV and XV centuries and a very old crucifix of the IX-X century called the "Holy Face". |
