Monterchi
In Monterchi there is a pregnant Madonna painted by Piero della Francesca. The name of the village comes from Mons Herculis, the mountain where Hercules, after defeating the Hydra, is said to have founded the first settlement. Arriving from Città di Castello or Arezzo, the village appears with the hills behind it. The Museo delle Bilance is also worth a stop.
About Monterchi
Monterchi is worth visiting not only for Piero della Francesca's masterpiece, the Madonna del Parto, but also for its glimpses, its poetic landscape and the atmosphere that comes through in its meeting places.
Its name refers to Mons Herculis, the "Mount of Hercules", where the hero, after defeating the Hydra, is said to have founded the first settlement. Arriving from Città di Castello or Arezzo, the little village appears with enchanting harmony, leaving the softness and contrasting colours of the hills in the background. The Museo delle Bilance is also worth a visit. It recalls a remote civilisation, in which the weight of the products stood for the effort and toil of the herders, farmers, and mushroom and truffle hunters.
