Latin historians say that the family of Maecenas has an ancient history, but what Carducci says is the truth: “the city of Arezzo would be enough to make the history of Italy”, therefore worthy of being the European capital of history and culture.
In a noble tomb of Tarquinia, of a woman, ancestor and lineage of the Maecenas of Chiusi, Larti Cilnei, descendant of the Lucumoni of Chiusi, this writing is found
“an aritinar meant arsince”, (he saved the people of Arezzo).
The Arezzo area, inhabited over 50 thousand years ago, see the woman found at Olmo, always lived by hunting, the ancient inhabitants were equipped with horses, and even the last specimens of elephants, and these habits continued until the age of Etruscans, so much so that some say that the name of Arezzo derives from Artemis, goddess of hunting and nature, sister of Apollo.
Artemis, Goddess who remained virgin and Amazon and huntress, but also dictater of fashion and elegance associated with strength.
Let’s go back to the tomb of Larthi, the wife of a lawyer, she had a passion for medicine and carried out dissections on corpses and had also become famous in the Chiusi and Arezzo areas for her medical experiences.
Too many people from Arezzo were dying of heart disease due to high levels of cholesterol in the blood, and according to his study they had to feed more on vegetable products and grasses, and following his advice the Arno Tiberis was diverted and a large part of the Valdichiana could be cultivated, this is why, in the southern gate of the City, the statuette of the plowman was found, which reminds us that the right diet lies in the cultivation of the land and not in the animals, but not only that, next to the plowman there is Athena Ergane, goddess supporter of art, of artisanal industriousness, of the ingenuity of the Arezzo people……….., and this has continued up to the present day.
