Still drawing this one…Ancora un attimo, la stiamo disegnando…Einen Moment, wir zeichnen sie noch…
The great writer Francesco Petrarca was born in Arezzo in 1304 and in 1305 he came to Incisa, where he stayed in his grandfather's property until the age of seven, while his father was under a sentence of exile from Florence; the family then moved near Avignon. The building in which Francesco spent some years of his childhood was part of the ancient Castel Nuovo dell'Ancisa complex, built by the Florentines in 1224 and then fortified later.
