Anghiari - Anghiari is a lovely
medieval town lying between two rivers, the Tiber and the
Arno.
The powerful thirteenth 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.

Francis of Assisi. The countryside around Anghiari has an
