A true piece of heaven for art lovers in Tuscany is the route that my art history professor Rab Hatfield <\/strong>called the “Piero Pilgrimage<\/strong>“. On the tracks of the great Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca<\/strong>, you start in Arezzo<\/strong> in Tuscany and in the end you cross the entire country, spend some time in le Marche<\/strong> and finish on the East coast in Rimini<\/strong>! This itinerary does not include the museums in Milan and Perugia, nor the Uffizi in Florence, all three of which house important works by Piero. Rather, the trip follows Piero’s path through works still found in-situ<\/em>, or in their city of production in the case of Urbino.<\/p>\n
