| Anghiari |
Site of an epic 15th century battle between the Florentines and the Milanese - which the Florentines won,
Anghiari is well worth a visit. The Borghetto (old town) is a maze of cobbled streets within the fortified
walls. Famous for woodworking and the restoration of antique furniture, the town is very craft orientated.
Founded in 1842, the town's best known large-scale commercial enterprise is Busatti - the family-owned
textile manufacturer. Visit the store at Via Mazzini for wonderful linen and handmade natural fabrics
produced using antique weaving techniques.

| The old Roman road leading to Anghiari from Sansepolcro runs straight as a die. Named the Via della Battaglia because it runs through the 15th century battlefield below the town, this then becomes Corso Giacomo Matteoti, from where this picture is taken. The official website for Anghiari is in Italian and English. It includes a detailed calendar of specal events as well as lots of information about the town and the surrounding area. There is a link to the site at the bottom of this page. |

| Anghiari is full of Hobbit doors. The town's residents must once have been quite short. Today's inhabitants are significantly taller. |
