Anghiari


   
   

Anghiari is a town and comune in the Province of Arezzo.
Anghiari is famous for the Battle of Anghiari between Florence and Milan which took place there on 29 June 1440. The battle inspired a fresco in the Palazzo Vecchio by Leonardo da Vinci. The fresco has since gone missing although a sketch of it by Peter Paul Rubens is still in existence.

Anghiari, Veduta del Castello di Montauto

 

   
   
Montauto was already in existence during the Etruscan period (VIII to V centuries BC ), and the settlement took advantage of the territory’s rich copper mines. It was a Roman/Byzantine lookout tower and came under the dominion of a feudal lord, Goffredo. The distinctive feature of the Castle di Montauto is the cylindrical tower on its corner. The castle itself has its origins in 1170-80.

Together with villa La Barbolana and Castello di Galbino, the Castle di Montauto was one of the residences of the old Galbino family. Here Francis of Assisi, not yet a saint, is said to have rested for a few days, after he had received the stigmata at La Verna in 1224. While here, Count Alberto gave Francis a new priest's habit in exchange for the old, stained one. This was soon considered a precious relic and was kept in the castle’s chapel until 1502 when the Florentines brought it to Florence. The habit of Montauto is now displayed in the Santuario della Verna.[2]

Map | From Anghiari to Sansepolcro, on the sites of the Battle

 

There is a walk along the route that leads from Anghiari to Sansepolcro and viceversa, that retraces the steps of the troops who fought in the battle: starting from the Museum, passing the Maestà shrine of S. Maria alla Vittoria built in 1441 on the site of the battle, walking alongside the old Reglia dei Mulini, the little stream that was so decisive on that important day. Then you will reach the River Tiber on the outskirts of Sansepolcro, and go into the town from which the Milanese troops launched their attack on 29 June 1440.[2]


Peter Paul Rubens’ copy of the lost Battle of Anghiari

 

Peter Paul Rubens painted a copy after a fresco in the Palazzo della Signoria in Florence, executed in 1504-1505 and destroyed around 1560.

Podere Santa Pia overlooks a valley characterised by all the elements of the Tuscan landscape: vineyards, pastures, small forests, wheat fields, olive groves and downey oaks. On a clear day you can see as far as Corsica to the south.

Lic. Santa Pia, Castiglioncello Bandini

Podere Santa Pia is an authentic holiday home located in a strategic position, only a short distance from a large number of sites of historical and cultural interest. Numerous towns and villages offer a treasure trove of history and art waiting to be discovered.
The holiday house is located in Castiglioncello Bandini, a small village in the Maremma, in the south of Tuscany, situated halfway between Florence and Rome and close to Montalcino, Arcidosso, and Monte Amiata. The splendid 180° views of the valley stretch as far as the Thyrenean Sea and Montecristo.
Podere Santa Pia is an equally good base for art lovers and for nature lovers, and it also offers a number of opportunities to discover the culinary tradition of this area of Tuscany.
