Middle Ages and Renaissance in Arezzo and its valleys<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Arezzo and its four valleys: from the castles of Casentino, to the strongholds of Val di Chiana, to the fortified villages of Valtiberina. So many fascinating places, where the mystical Middle Ages of the parish churches and the bloody battles between Guelphs and Ghibellines gave way at a certain moment to humanistic thought. Thus began that cultural and philosophical renewal that later marked the Renaissance period and filled the land of Arezzo with new light, bringing the artistic and architectural masterpieces that we can still admire today.<\/p>\n

The medieval castles of Casentino<\/h1>\n

A land of lush forests, ancient parish churches, fascinating legends, but above all of mighty fortresses perched in a strategic position controlling the main communication routes and the course of the Arno, the Casentino is the ideal place for anyone who cannot resist the fascination of the Middle Ages, which can still be felt everywhere. A valley where time has stood still, just waiting to be admired from the heights of its mysterious castles.<\/p>\n
