Perhaps best known these days as the setting for the book and movie “Under the Tuscan Sun,” gorgeous hillside Cortona has a long history dating back even before its time as an important Etruscan center. Top attractions include the Duomo (Cathedral), the small Museo Diocesano across the piazza with its superb art collection, and the fascinating Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca with its assembly of Etruscan and Roman era items. Cortona is also bursting with splendid churches spanning many periods.

"The Circle of Life" is a contemporary art gallery which was first opened in 2012 as an expression of the strong passion for art of Italian sculptor Andrea Roggi. The interior universe of the Cortona-based gallery is the perfect setting for the works of Roggi, the master called upon to interact with the environment while interpreting it.
