The facade in Corso Italia, the apse in Piazza Grande. The Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta in Arezzo is the link between two of the most important and lived-in places in the city. Built starting from the year 1000, this Romanesque church presents itself in all its magnificence with a façade with three portals. We all immediately look at the Pieve with our noses turned up, because we cannot fail to be fascinated by its bell tower, known as the "hundred hole" for the mullioned windows, once ten on each side, which make it unique.

At the back of the church is the large semicircular apse: small single-lancet windows illuminate the interior of the crypt where the 1346 reliquary bust in gilded silver is kept with the relics of San Donato Vescovo, the patron saint of Arezzo.

All you need to do is cross its threshold to admire, inside, a masterpiece of fourteenth-century painting: the Polyptych with the Virgin and Child and Saints John the Evangelist, Donato, John the Baptist and Matthew commissioned from Pietro Lorenzetti in 1320, not to mention the beautiful Chapel of the SS. Sacramento, where delicate pastel-coloured frescoes by the master Luigi Ademollo frame a sweet fifteenth-century statue of the Madonna in polychrome terracotta.
