Guide to Cortona, properties for sale in Cortona
Cortona - The city Virgil wanted founded by mythical Dardanus, was probably a fortified Umbrian city, passed to the Etruscans between the 8th. and 7th. centuries BC.. Of these it became an important Lucumony.
During the social war it was granted Roman citizenship, after which ascertainable information is lacking. Cortona flourished during the Comuni period and under the domain of the Ranieri-Casali.
Sold to the Florentines by the king of Naples in 1411, it followed the destinies of the Grand-duchy of Tuscany.
Built on a spur of the Monte Sant'Egidio, Cortona is surrounded by powerful wails, smoothed down by centuries and winds, along which the ancient gates open in correspondence to the roads coming up from the valley. The visitor looking around from the top walls can admire one of the widest and harmonious views in Italy: the rich and immense Val di Chiana, limited on the horizon by the Siena mountains, fore most the Amiata and the Cetona; and closer up the wide expanse of the Trasimeno lake.
Cortona's Etruscan power is witnessed by the still standing imposing segments of the city wails. Several Etruscan tombs were found in the valley. We will mention the Tanella di Pitagora, the Melone in Camucia and the Meloni at Sodo. Very rich archaeological findings are exhibited in the Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca in Palazzo Casali, foremost the renowned Etruscan lamp of the 5th century BC.
Cortona gave birth to the painters Luca Signorelli and Pietro Berrettini, known as Pietro da Cortona. Gino Severini was also born here. Exceptional is the pictorial patrimony of this art city preserved in the Museo Diocesano an the famous «Annunciazione» by Beato Angelico.
