In the churches in Arezzo, the Etruscan and Roman roots of this land dialogue with the Medieval and Renaissance architecture and art. The churches of Arezzo are not only places of worship but true monuments, authentic pieces of history which are sometimes hidden, in other cases concealed by a thin veil, which once raised, makes us think of the famous Giosuè Carducci’s sentence: “ Arezzo would be enough for the glory of Italy”. The Nobel Prize winner Carducci said so thinking of the monuments, the celebrities and the history we can breathe in while strolling through the city centre streets. And just think when we enter the churches and basilicas, where the art works not only make unique the discovery of Arezzo but also tell us of the historic events, which changed the path of all the humanity, with a great beauty such as the Basilica of San Domenico, which seen from outside can look like a Medieval church as many others, but it hosted the first Conclave in history. Yes, the election of a Pope, like we know it today, was done first in Arezzo. And then the frescoes by Piero or the splendor of the Dome where there are the sepulchers of the bishops and the lords of a city which had its own coin and which tried to be independent and distant from Florentine dominance.
