THE LANDSCAPES THAT INSPIRED PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA… are hidden in the #hills.

Are you a tourist and a traveler?

Do you want to put yourself in the landscape seeker’s shoes?

This is an invitation to the voyage. In the steps of Piero Della Francesca. Visit #terrediPiero at http://terredipiero.it/en/

The landscapes in Piero’s #paintings, are often thought to recall the area around his hometown of Borgo San Sepolcro, they evoke the upper Tiber Valley too, without describing it precisely.

While some people decided that the landscapes in Piero’s paintings, or in other #Renaissance painter’s works, were merely imaginary, it will be possible to find them hidden away in the hills around the #lands of #Piero della Francesca.

Come and see. You can realize, you will realize that the #landscape you are looking at is part of the background #landscape in a famous #portrait.

Are you asking yourself : “What did it mean to locate sacred scenes in a recognizable and local setting?” The answer, my friend , is hidden away in the #hills.

Come and see. This is an invitation to the #voyage.
