Arezzo proudly holds
one of the most important cycles of frescoes of all time: the "History of
the True Cross" by Piero della Francesca. The frescoes have been recently
restored and can be seen as they were at the height of their splendor.
Cortona lies on a hill
overlooking Lake Trasimeno and offers
visitors the chance to walk through its narrow Renaissance streets among
historic palaces and ancient buildings.
