Where we areAnghiari
Founded in the 10th century, it has dominated the Valtiberina from its beginnings; even today it is possible to admire the great splendor of its strong surrounding walls already visible kilometers away. Remembering Anghiari only for the famous battle between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Visconti family of Milan, immortalized by Leonardo by Vinci, would be reductive.
The historic importance of the city and the enchanting panorama that visitors see as soon as they travel the route along the wall makes Anghiari a pleasant place for spending a peaceful and enjoyable day among the winding trails of the historic center, admiring balconies covered with flowers that give a touch of color to the city.
Every year Anghiari hosts the "Crafts Market and Exhibition" bringing together master artisans from the high valley of the Tevere.

Caprese Michelangelo
Caprese Michelangelo takes its name from its illustrious citizen Michelangelo Buonarroti.
The village is located on a rock that dominates the surrounding territory and is famous, besides having given birth to Michelangelo, also for its chestnuts that cover the entire surrounding area and that produce a fruit of exceptional value known all over the world.

The Casa della Podestà is the site of the Museo Michelangiolesco (Michelangelo Museum), inside which are offered reproductions of natural greatness of its greatest masterpieces. This museum hosts a gallery where works of contemporary artists are exhibited.

Monterchi
Monterchi is a medieval village with little streets and plazas, surrounded by woods, chestnuts and cultivated fields, and is famous mainly for the fresco of the Madonna del Parto (Our Lady Giving Birth) by Piero della Francesca, preserved inside the city museum.

The many restaurants around the center welcome diners in pleasant and characteristic rooms, promoting the typical local cuisine using yellow polenta, mushrooms, and truffles, all ingredients found in abundance in the surrounding territory.

You must visit the famous Antiques fair held the first Sunday of the month and the previous Saturday in the streets of the historic center.
