The sub-zones are ( clockwise from the north ): the Colli Fiorentini which is located south of the city of Florence ; Chianti Rufina in the northeastern part of the zone located around the commune of Rufina ; Classico in the centre of Chianti, across the provinces of Florence and Siena ; Colli Aretini in the Arezzo province to the east ; Colli Senesi south of Chianti Classico in the Siena hills, which is the largest of the sub-zones and includes the Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano areas ; Colline Pisane, the westernmost sub-zone in the province of Pisa ; Montespertoli located within the Colli Fiorentini around the commune of Montespertoli ; Montalbano in the north-west part of the zone which includes the Carmignano DOCG.

Giorgio Vasari quotes Michelangelo as saying, " If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo.

Benigni is probably best known outside Italy for his 1997 tragicomedy Life Is Beautiful ( La vita è bella ), filmed in Arezzo, also written by Cerami.

Aritimi was also considered the founder of the Etruscan town Aritie, which is today the Italian town Arezzo.

Arezzo is a city and comune in Central Italy, capital of the province of the same name, located in Tuscany.

Arezzo is about 80 km southeast of Florence, at an elevation of 296 m above sea level.

Arezzo is set on a steep hill rising from the floodplain of the River Arno.

Described by Livy as one of the Capitae Etruriae ( Etruscan capitals ), Arezzo is believed to have been one of the twelve most important Etruscan cities — the so-called Dodecapolis.

There is other significant Etruscan evidence: parts of walls, an Etruscan necropolis on Poggio del Sole ( still named " Hill of the Sun "), and most famously, the two bronzes, the " Chimera of Arezzo " ( 5th century BC ) and the " Minerva " ( 4th century BC ) which were discovered in the 16th century and taken to Florence.

Increasing trade connections with Greece also brought some elite goods to the Etruscan nobles of Arezzo: the krater painted by Euphronios ca 510 BC with a battle against Amazons ( in the Museo Civico, Arezzo 1465 ) is unsurpassed.

In the 3rd to 4th century, Arezzo became an episcopal seat: it is one of the few cities whose succession of bishops are known by name without interruption to the present day, in part because they were the feudal lords of the city in the Middle Ages.

* Arezzo is home to an annual medieval festival called the Saracen Joust ( Giostra del Saracino ).

Arezzo is twinned with:

The use of Ut queant laxis to name the tones is usually attributed to Guido of Arezzo in the eleventh century, who proposed a name for the first six tones.

In this melody, each of the first six musical phrases of each stanza of the hymn begins on a successively higher note of the hexachord, corresponding to the tone proposed by Guido of Arezzo, except the last line, Sancte Iohannes, which is an adonius after the three Sapphic hendecasyllables, breaking the ascending pattern.

It is possible that the music was created by Guido of Arezzo himself or is just a re-use of a former melody.

His most famous work is the cycle of frescoes " The Legend of the True Cross " in the church of San Francesco in the Tuscan town of Arezzo.

* From 1986 to 2006 Arezzo was also home to an annual popular music and culture festival, each July, called Arezzo Wave.

The Italian town of Arezzo continues to hold an annual jousting tournament, which dates to the Crusades .. Modern theatrical medieval-style jousting competitions are popular at American Renaissance fairs and similar festivals, and feature riders on horseback attempting various feats of skill with the lance, which may not always have a basis in history.

The practice of singing music to syllables designating pitch goes back to about AD 1000 with the work of Guido of Arezzo ; other early work in this area includes the cipher notation of Jean-Jacques Rousseau ( 18th century ), and the tonic sol-fa of John Curwen ( 19th century ).

Fresh material having come to light, a new edition of the poems ( Die Gedichte des Paulus Diaconus ) has been edited by Karl Neff ( Munich, 1908 ), who denies, however, the attribution to Paul of the most famous poem in the collection, the Ut queant laxis, a hymn to St. John the Baptist, which Guido d ' Arezzo fitted to a melody which had previously been used for Horace's Ode 4. 11.

In the eleventh century, the music theorist Guido of Arezzo developed a six-note ascending scale that went as follows: ut, re, mi, fa, sol, and la.

After the rout of the Battle of Campaldino ( 1289 ), which saw the death of Bishop Guglielmino Ubertini, the fortunes of Ghibelline Arezzo started to ebb, apart from a brief period under the Tarlati family, chief among them Guido Tarlati, who became bishop in 1312 and maintained good relations with the Ghibelline party.

Guittone d ' Arezzo rediscovered it and brought it to Tuscany where he adapted it to his language when he founded the Neo-Sicilian School ( 1235 – 1294 ).

It has a dodecagonal dome over the centre slightly altered by Margaritone d ' Arezzo in 1270.

* The Palazzo del Comune ( or Palazzo degli Anziani-Elders palace ), built in 1250, with lofty arched substructures at the back, was the work of Margaritone d ' Arezzo, and has been restored twice.

On March 17, 1981, a police raid on his villa in Arezzo led to the discovery of a list of 962 persons composed of Italian military officers and civil servants involved in Propaganda Due ( also known as " P2 "), a clandestine lodge expelled from the Grande Oriente d ' Italia Masonic organization.

* Guido d ' Arezzo, the most notable music theorist of the Middle Ages and inventor of modern music notation, was born there around the year 991.

This contained both Latin versions and German translations and also included a translation of Rinuccio da Castiglione ( or d ’ Arezzo )' s version from the Greek of a life of Aesop ( 1448 ).

The 1250s saw a major change in Italian poetry as the Dolce Stil Novo ( Sweet New Style, which emphasized Platonic rather than courtly love ) came into its own, pioneered by poets like Guittone d ' Arezzo and Guido Guinizelli.

Roberto Assagioli ( Venice, February 27, 1888-Capolona d ' Arezzo, August 23, 1974 ) was an Italian psychiatrist and pioneer in the fields of humanistic and transpersonal psychology.

The aesthetic underpinning the use of these other intervals ( usually to do with the concept of a " boundary tone " to preserve the modal integrity, or in order to avoid harmonic tritones or accidentals foreign to the mode ) was explored in more detail by Guido d ' Arezzo in his Micrologus of around 1020.

The earliest examples of this style dating from around 1020-1050 ( the Micrologus of Guido d ' Arezzo and the Winchester Troper ) utilise parallel motion and oblique motion ( upper voice moving while the tenor holds one note ), but the introduction of contrary motion ( voices moving in opposite directions ) as well as similar motion ( voices moving in the same direction, but to different intervals ) led to progressively freer musical lines — a prerequisite element of counterpoint.

Concerning the diesis Guido of Arezzo wrote about 1026 in his treatise Micrologus that the diesis sharpens the usual tonus between re-mi ( a-b ; d-e ; g-h or h-i ) with the proportion 9: 8 by a proportion of 7: 6 ( a -˫; d -˧; g-Γ or h -˥).

Shortly after this, one to four staff lines — an innovation traditionally ascribed to Guido d ' Arezzo — clarified the exact relationship between pitches.
