San Sepolcro, cradle of history and culture

San Sepolcro - The video takes us through the gates of the city of San Sepolcro, home of the artist Piero della Francesca, the cradle of art, history and good Tuscan cuisine. So renowned all over the world for preserving Della Francesca's works that in the Second World War it was spared from being hit. The city, a wonderful village characterized by bricks on each building, is said to have even a mythological origin.

Two pilgrims stopped there on their way back from Jerusalem to build a chapel where to keep the relics, the whole city was erected around it, made up of alleys, monuments and works of art, unique in the world. Birthplace of one of the greatest mathematicians of the Renaissance, Luca Pacioli, a friend of Leonardo da Vinci. A city rich in details of the late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance, periods in which it had its maximum splendor. The historic center is closed by a wall, surrounded by the gunboats of Buontalenti. Elegant and refined, it is also rich in folklore, such as the flag-wavers' palio.
