Anghiari is a small town with 6.000 inhabitants in the Province of Arezzo Tuscany. This lovely medieval town lying between two rivers, the Arno and the Tiber. The powerful 13th century walls made the town an invincible fortress which constituted an important reference point and kept the Tuscan flag flying during the many historical events that occurred in this delicately balanced border area.

On the 29th June 1440 the famous Battle of Anghiari, which was subsequently painted by Leonardo da Vinci in Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, reaffirmed Florentine rule in Tuscany. Anghiari and its surrounding area have seen the lives and work of the greatest men of the Renaissance who brought the seeds of the modern age from the land inside Tiber and Arno to the whole of Europe. The centuries that followed left their various marks on the churches and houses giving the town its own individual character, making it unique and unmistakable.
