Monterone, located in the municipality of Sestino, in the province of Arezzo, is a place steeped in history and charm. This small medieval village, located on a hill and surrounded by fortified walls, still seems to retain the magic of the past. The old stone facades overlook the alleys that wind downwards like a spiral staircase. The view extends over the Foglia valley and reaches as far as Alpe della Luna, which acts as the border. It is no wonder that Monterone has acquired the nickname of Castello del Luto.
The small square in front of the church is the scene of some musical events. Every year, in the first week after Easter, the lutenist Sigrun Richter holds a Masterclass for lute and Early Music Ensembles. During the summer, Ancient Music weekends are also planned for lutenists and singers with teachers Patrizia Vaccari (singing) and Sigrun Richter (lute)
If you are passionate about history and culture, Monterone is definitely a place to visit. And if you have the opportunity to participate in one of the concerts or ancient music courses, you will be able to immerse yourself even more in the atmosphere of this enchanting village.
