Città di Castello - art, events, history and handicrafts
Characterised by its "measured taste for beauty" (TCI, 2008), Città di Castello has a rich history - from Umbrian and Roman settlements to its annexation to the Kingdom of Italy via the Signoria of the Vitelli family (15 th-16 th centuries), who contributed to the creation of a great historic-artistic heritage.
Surrounded by long stretches of 16th century walls, you can find art along all of the streets of the historic town centre: in the Renaissance architecture, in the courtyards and open galleries of the noble palaces and in the cloisters and aisles of churches.
Start your visit from the central piazza Gabriotti, home to the cathedral dedicated to Saints Florido and Amanzio with an unfinished façade, the Cathedral museum with artworks by Pinturicchio and Rosso Fiorentino, and the 16 th century Town Hall, built from a design by Angelo da Orvieto.
