Arezzo and the Casentino had a very important role in the life of the Poet
The Battle of Campaldino (1289), his travels travel and the stay in Arezzo during his exile (1306) have definitely marked his existence.
Dante mentioned all that in his “Divine Comedy”.

Ah, by the way, the charming lady you can see at my side in this picture
is not the ghost of the lusty Matelda ,
who haunts the castle of Poppi,
she is the real and alive sweet Paola!
