 Terra di Toscana :: Walking and Biking - From Pratovecchio to the Castello di Romena
This valley, closed in da Pratomagno al gran giogo (the Apennines), is where the Arno - fiumicel che nasce in Falterona,/e cento miglia di corso nol sazia rises and where the Battle of Campaldino between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines (in which Dante participated) was fought in 1289.
For this reason, the Master, consumed by thirst, is doomed in The Inferno to imagine the streams of the Casentino and the spring of Fonte Branda.
Pratovecchio can be reached from Arezzo and Cesena on the SS.

Pratovecchio has been included in the National Park of the Forests of the Casetino, of which it is the main base.
Pratovecchio is a centre of the Casentino in the province of Arezzo and it has about 3,000 inhabitants and represents one of the historical nuclei of the power of the Counts Guidi.
When the end of this fight was signed in the castle of Poppi in 1440, Pratovecchio and the whole Casentino were subjected to the Florentine Republic that became the Tuscan Grand Duchy some years later with a jurisdiction over most of the modern region.

These two panels are pinnacles from the Pratovecchio Master's masterpiece: a triptych, apparently painted for the church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Pratovecchio.
The figures were conceived as actors on a stage, stepping forward and gesturing to express their grief.
There is little doubt that the Pratovecchio Master had in mind the apostles and martyrs decorating Donatello's bronze doors for the sacristy of San Lorenzo, Florence.

Jacopo di Antonio was the cousin of Giovanni di Francesco, and it is possible that he, rather than Giovanni, may have painted a triptych commissioned by the nuns of the Convento del Paradiso, Pian di Ripoli, near Florence.
This triptych may perhaps be identified with the Virgin and Child with SS Bridget and Michael, known as the Poggibonsi altarpiece (Malibu, CA, Getty Mus.) painted c.
If so, Jacopo may perhaps be identified with the Master of Pratovecchio; further evidence suggests that he worked for the same localities as this artist.
