Cortona, Italy: Rustic and Romantic
Cortona has a history that goes back 2500 years to Etruscan times. It grew to its present size between the 13th and 15th centuries, when it was a colorful and crowded city. And while an extremely popular travel destination for Americans today, Cortona's rustic and gritty personality survives.

Cortona Tuscany seen from the air.
One of a series of films produced by Alessandro Sorbello www.alessandrosorbello.com and featuring original music by Jaider http Film taken from the air in the same location as Under A Tuscan Sun Cortona is a small but fascinating city in the province of Arezzo, Tuscany, central Italy, situated on a commanding hill, and overlooking Lake Trasimeno. Its cyclopean walls, still in great part preserved, are said to be 3000 years old. It was one of the twelve cities of Etruria and in its vicinity many ruins and Etruscan tombs maybe seen. Cortona took part in all the wars against Rome until 310 BC when Fabius Rullianus defeated the Etruscans and took Perugia. Perugia, with other cities including Cortona, then made peace with Rome. Later Cortona was destroyed by the Lombards but was soon rebuilt. In the fourteenth century it was governed by the Casali and afterwards became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Many famous men were born or lived in Cortona: Brother Elias (Elia Coppi), the famous companion of St. Francis of Assisi, and later Vicar-General of the Franciscan Order; Cardinals Egidio Boni and Silvio Passerini; the painter Luca Signorelli; the architect and painter Pietro Berrettini (Pietro da Cortona). St. Margaret of Cortona (1248-97) was born at Laviano (Alviano) in the Diocese of Chiusi, and became the mistress of a nobleman of the vicinity. On discovering his body after he had met a violent death, she repented and, after a public penance, retired to Cortona, where she <b>...</b>

Pienza, Castiglione del Lago, Cortona
Pienza has many character-facets, a few more of which we enjoyed this trip. Our friends near Montepulciano had cleared and cleaned the very old church to hold their own wedding in, so their recommendation contained the sort of personal urgency one likes to respond to. We just happened onto Castiglione del Lago as we skirted the elusive Lake Trasimeno. The blond lady at the deli was easily the most memorable part of the day's happenings. There was an indescribable largeness about Cortona. Felt more populous, more massive in its structures than other towns in the region. Substantial would be a kind euphemism. The word STOLID is a little closer to the reality of it. Seemed a little less Latin, a little more Germanic somehow. Your comments on why this might be?
