Visita guidata da Cortona a Chiusi per Castiglione del Lago e il Chiugi
The guided tour from Cortona to Chiusi through Castiglione del Lago and Chiugi takes into consideration a vast territory, as can be deduced from the title, but this does not mean that the territory is crossed in a rush, with the risk of omitting evidence of historical-cultural importance. In the pages of the guide, news of heroes, sovereigns, artists, saints and peoples follow one another, to whom the author dedicates a file, a note, a story sometimes wrapped in the cloak of legend, such as that of Santa Mustiola or the wedding ring of the Madonna. And a photo, the etymology of the name of a town, the historical reconstruction of an event or a work carried out in the area, information about a find or an illustration of an architecture define, together with other indications of relief, an organic secular picture. It could be said that the work of Leo Francesco Lorenzini, which naturally presents itself as a guide and therefore a vademecum for the visitor, is also configured as a useful tool for schools in order to promote knowledge of local history. […] work worthy of attention. Easy and pleasant to read.” (Vito Amedeo Cozzi Lepri)
