Ancient crafts, between Valtiberina and Arezzo

The impression you will have is to take a trip back in time, rediscovering the calmness of small towns and old traditions. Tuscany is the birthplace of the Renaissance and one of the greatest artists that reflects this period is Piero della Francesca. We can admire some of his masterpieces in Monterchi and Arezzo. The territory of Arezzo offers a history rich in the traditions of artisan activities: it is considered one of the most ancient Italian cities for that which concerns goldsmith art. Jewellery craft has remote origins, it dates back to the Etruscan Era, whose inhabitants exceled in this form of craftmanship and boasted many capable goldsmith masters. The visit to the famous Busatti factory in Anghiari will introduce us to a reality born in the mid-Nineteenth Century, that produces fabrics for furniture using high quality raw materials.
