    • Description:

    • Located in Central Italy is the second oldest church built by the Franciscans in Arezzo. Designed in fresco style (similar to mosaic design) and dating back to the 14th century is Basilica di San Francesco. The walls depict epic paintings of Cupid, St. Peter, St. Augustine, St. Peter and St. Mary Magdalene. Besides being famous for the magnificent scenes from Legend of the True Cross portrayed on the walls of the Basilica in Arezzo, poet Petrarch, Renaissance artist and art historian Giorgio Vasari were both born in the town.
