Morning Mass at 7 a.m. at the Cathedral - Wonderful - A story like Giorgio Bassani +++++++++++++++++++++ Italy, again, has become a country which is very attractive to travel to - to better understand what people do and what "notion" (Begriff) of time people have. Over the last years, I went several times to Arezzo, a city I know from the 1990s. Indeed, Arezzo is a small town, quiet, well structured. Go to a good Hotel (Graziella Patio), and come along to take photographs for better understanding. Bring a powerful "camera" (indeed : camera), since the places and streets, most paved, are complicated. And have time, to look at the People, have some coffee or a beer at Piazza Grande.

After getting somewhat acquainted with the city, establish a new exercice, to get up early, somewhat at around 6 a.m. . Have a first coffee. And go the the Cathedral, absolutely up the hill, and you will have to go not too fast. The street is steep. Usually, if you are erally acquainted, you will see three religious sisters coming from the side, in her habits.

The morning mass is held at 7 a.m., in the wonderful side chapel. There may be around 40 to 50 people, of all kind, and of a multitude of ages. Some, as you may guess, are going afterwards to work.

For the time being, there is alwys an old priest, quite tall, wonderfully speaking and singing. It is very religious, but all means it has nothing of "Kitsch". When there is the benediction at the end, you feel relieved and can go back to the Hotel, to have real breakfast. This time, you are going downwards, it is easier.

Here some photographs taken in Arezzo in May 2016, with fog. I presume Giorgio Bassani, who was born in Ferrara and was Jewish, a great writer, would have...

This fantastic Cathedral rises atop a hill in the upper part of the city, on the foundations of an ancient early Christian church where a Roman acropolis likely once stood. Begun in the Gothic style during the 13th century, the construction of the dome, dedicated to Saints Peter and Donatus, was not completed until three centuries later, in 1511, after numerous cycles of alteration. Its bell tower with tall, twin windows, designed by Luigi Mercanti, was built between 1857 and 1859. The last reconstruction of the façade was carried out between 1901 and 1914, based on a design by Viviani intended to replace the unfinished one dating back to the 15th century. Dominating the city, this imposing three-nave building, without a transept, boasts seven beautiful stained-glass windows created by the monk and master glassmaker Guillaume de Marcillat from Berry. The French artist worked between Arezzo and Cortona from 1516. This masterpiece of glass art was created in two phases, between 1516 and 1517, and then between 1522 and 1524. These illustrious biblical tales can be admired in the vaults of the first three bays of the main nave and the first bay of the left aisle.

Also inside are the small but famous 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdalene by Piero della Francesca, glazed terracotta sculptures by Andrea della Robbia, and the tombs of the 14th-century Bishop Guido Tarlati and Pope Gregory X, who died in...

Facciata e campanile del Duomo di Arezzo hanno una qualche parentela e similitudine con stili architettonici romanico gotici, pur se realizzati nei secoli XIX e XX. La originale linea gotica non può non essere percepita se non all'interno dell'edificio sacro, dove vi si accede dopo aver attraversato in salita una ripida scalinata. Si è sgomenti allorquando si ha contezza della vastità e della finezza con la quale l'architetto realizzatore dell'opera muraria ha portato a compimento il suo incarico di ripartizione dello spazio in tre navate e in ben sei campate organicamente definite. La grandezza e la monumentalità dell'interno denotano plasticamente la minorità della condizione umana al cospetto dell'elemento sacro. Due vette dell'arte rinascimentale e medioevale sono presenti nella cattedrale, peraltro non distanti tra loro. L'affresco raffigurante la Maddalena di Piero della Francesca è infatti posizionato in fondo alla navata sinistra a pochi metri dall'altro capolavoro in marmo che troneggia nell'abside, l'arca di San Donato. Espressioni del sentimento che gli artisti solitamente hanno verso le tematiche religiose, la Maddalena reca nella figura e nei colori scelti da Piero il senso di un pacato trasporto verso la santità mentre il gruppo marmoreo consolida nella sua struttura scultorea un afflato devozionale che scaturisce dalle decorazioni ivi realizzate. L'abside è inoltre impreziosito da lucentissime e coloratissime vetrate inserite nelle bifore e realizzate dal maestro vetraio francese Marcillat. Il cenotafio trecentesco del vescovo Tarlati e la duecentesca Madonna lignea policroma con bambino benedicente, costituiscono esempi preclari di elevatissima dignità artistica. Frammenti di affreschi trecenteschi peraltro ben conservati adornano le pareti della navate sinistra. La volta a crociera della cattedrale ripartita in camoate è mirabilmente decorata con affreschi realizzati dal Castellucci re dal maestro vetraio che qui si dimostra anche un buon pittore, Marcillat. La navata destra è ricca anch'essa di numerose opere d'arte e cenotafi di splendore assoluto. Si esce dalla chiesa sbalorditi per aver assorbito tanta bellezza e per alleggerire il peso, si osserva sbadatamente il lato destro della cattedrale rimasto nella sua struttura originaria...
