 | | But Piero della Francesca, the famed fifteenth century artist of Arezzo, executed his fresco in a small obscure country church where only the local people came to worship, and the Madonna del Parto, as she is known, survived away from the eyes of the zealots and the politicians. |
 | | Yet, here in Arezzo, throughout the southern half of the province, are Tuscan wines many of which are quiet cousins of their better known relatives, often made of the same grapes, notably Sangiovese, often bearing a striking resemblance and at the same time, displaying a marked individuality, standing in the wings waiting to be discovered. |
