Sansepolcro: Guide

Sansepolcro (former Borgo Santo Sepolcro), is a town and commune in Tuscany, Italy, in the province of Arezzo.

Situated on the Tiber river, it was the birthplace of the painters Piero della Francesca and Raffaellino del Colle, a pupil of Raphael. It was also the birthplace of the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli.

Economy is based on agriculture. Industry includes manufacturing, food processing and pharmaceutics. It is the home of Buitoni pasta which was founded by Giulia Buitoni in 1827.

History

According to the tradition, the town was founded around 1000 AD by two pilgrims (Arcanus and Aegidius), who founded here an oratory (where now is the Cathedral) during their homecoming from the Holy Land. First historical mentions are slightly later, referring the the Benedictine Abbey built in that period. The historical centre Sansepolcro reached its current size around 1400, and in 1500 received its walls by Giuliano da Sangallo, Dominations included those of Duchy of Milan|Milan, the Malatesta and then Florence.

Aldous Huxley described the Resurrection by Piero della Francesca which is in the Museo Civico as "the greatest painting in the world". It also houses other work by Piero della Francesca and by Santi di Tito, Raffaellino del Colle and Luca Signorelli.
