 If
you look up you will see the rooftops, belfries and towers softly
reaching towards the west like a painting hanging in the air in limbo:
it is Cortona, the oldest city in Italy, as written by the American
writer Henry James enchanted by the city.
Cortona, high in prestige and mythology, tells the tourist an enchanting
and suggestive story of the gods that founded it and lived there:
Jupiter, Electra, Darden and of the heroes that were buried here:
Ulysses, Pythagoras.
Cortona, which can be reached from the villa in just a few minutes, is
one of the cities that best represent the region of Tuscany. Cortona
exceeds itself with its enchanting nature, with its works of art and
archaeological discoveries (on display in the two museums), with its
urban configuration of past times, with its Etruscan walls, medieval
streets and houses, renaissance buildings and multilingual population
passing in the town squares. Finally, Cortona offers a variety of
delicious and enticing cuisine waiting to be enjoyed.
