Piero della Francesca: origins in Arezzo

In a corner of Renaissance Italy, Piero della Francesca emerges as a hidden genius, combining mystery, art, and mathematics. Born in Sansepolcro between 1406 and 1416, his training was influenced by Florentine, Sienese, and Umbrian currents. Absorbing the techniques of Domenico Veneziano and Masaccio, Piero developed a unique style in which art and mathematics blend harmoniously. Although many of his works are lost, those that survive represent a priceless treasure of the Renaissance, testifying to his ability to combine painting with abstract mathematics and deep understanding of perspective and light.

Guido d’Arezzo, also known as Guido Monaco, is a key figure in the history of music. Born between 991 and 992, he revolutionized musical notation, creating the tetragrammaton and naming notes. His origins are disputed, but Arezzo celebrates him as its illustrious citizen. His vocation as a monk and music teacher led him to develop a system of solfeggio.
