The area
Days out from Poggio alla Fame.
The Valtiberina is the upper valley of the Tiber, in the province of Arezzo, where Tuscany meets Umbria and the Marche. Piero della Francesca was born in Sansepolcro, and his paintings are in Sansepolcro, Monterchi and Arezzo.
Sansepolcro
Piero's Resurrection and his Madonna della Misericordia altarpiece are in the Museo Civico, 10 minutes from the estate. On the second Sunday of September the town holds the Palio della Balestra, a crossbow contest against Gubbio.
Anghiari and Monterchi
Anghiari is a walled hill town 15 minutes away, above the plain where the battle of 1440 was fought. In Monterchi, Piero's Madonna del Parto hangs in a small museum of its own.
Arezzo
Piero's frescoes of the Legend of the True Cross are in the church of San Francesco, 45 minutes from the estate. The antiques fair fills Piazza Grande on the first Sunday of every month and the Saturday before.

The sanctuary of La Verna, where St Francis received the stigmata in 1224, is 50 minutes away, on the mountain towards the Casentino. Cortona is an hour from the estate.
