Anghiari, located in the heart of Tuscany, is a pearl of rare beauty: its cobbled streets, ancient buildings and striking views make this town a true multicultural treasure. The main virtues that allow it to be included in the list of Slow cities are its strong ties to traditions, the richness of its natural and cultural-historical heritage, and its ability to maintain over the years a slow but at the same time fulfilling pace of life. Among the events that the town organizes in the name of the Cittaslow philosophy are the Anghiari Festival, dedicated to classical music, the Miele d'Autore, dedicated to local gastronomic excellence, and Anghiari Week, a week of cultural initiatives that culminates with the historical re-enactment of the famous battle. By visiting Anghiari, a responsible tourist can appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscape, the traces of Renaissance art, the authenticity of the local cuisine and the hospitality of its inhabitants. He or she can also make the most of the local experience by participating in nature hikes, Tuscan cooking classes, and guided tours of museums and artisan workshops.
