 Guido of Arezzo - Open Encyclopedia
Guido of Arezzo or Guido Monaco (995-1050) is regarded as the inventor of modern musical notation (staff notation) that replaced neumatic notation.
Guido was a friar of the Benedictine order from the Italian city-state of Arezzo.
The simple placement of lines allowed those reading musical notation to know where on the scale a particular note should be sung, moving from a relative scale (useful to those needing a reminder of where to sing) to an absolute scale.

 Chimera of Arezzo
This hypothesis is based on the observation that Chimaeras very similar to the one of Arezzo were painted or sculpted in medieval in 11th century in Italy, especially in some areas of northern Italy, for instance in the cathedrals of Aosta and Merano.
In both documents the date is one year later than the one written in the archives of Arezzo, and it seems likely that Vasari had in mind the year when the Chimaera arrived in Florence rather than when it was dug out of the ground in Arezzo.
It seems that no reproductions were made of the Chimaera of Arezzo until recent times, in the 1930s, when a considerable revival of everything ancient and classical took place under the influence of the Fascist government.
