I am reviewing the “astronomical clock” … 3rd edition (4Jun2025)! There is an excellent article on the clock on tourismo.it by Flaminia Sworn, dated 10Jan2019. I will summarise the clock’s features. It was installed in 1552, but the geocentric arrangement is pre-Copernicus (1515), per the prevailing orthodoxy. i.e., the Earth is at the centre, and the Moon is in a closer orbit than the Sun. The Sun hand therefore rotates once every 12 hours, the a.m./ p.m. factor being evident to the observer in the piazza (from the degree of darkness). The Moon hand rotates every 24 hours and 50 minutes, i.e., the moon rises, on average, about 50 minutes later each day. There is, per Sword, a [simple] noon sundial, to make corrections to the clock at the meridian crossing of the Sun and/or Moon. My photo of the sundial was taken at 12:43 (Arezzo longitude is 11.898 E). There are 30 gradations for the days of the month. I expect they have to make manual adjustments for January, February, March, May, July, August, October, and December. This dial rotates with the Moon hand (you can see daylight all around the Moon globe, looking thru the clock mechanism from inside the tower). There is also a minute hand, and the clock chimes each quarter hour. The Moon hand has a clever feature in that the Moon, painted half gold and half black, rotates to reveal the moon phase. N.B. The Moon hand is calibrated so it depicts the Moon as seen from the Northern Hemisphere, looking south. See my photograph, taken in the early evening on the same day. There are several photos on this website already showing a broad view of the clock mechanism. When I photographed the clock this morning (30May2025), and also observed it with my binoculars, the Moon hand and the Sun hand were not correctly positioned (according to my analysis above), but the Moon phase was correct (waxing crescent, see photo taken same day). I suspect they need adjustment. I would be interested in comments on my analysis, or referral to a more detailed analysis than may be available. Fausto...

Il Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici di Arezzo riflette secoli di storia locale, nato nel XIII secolo come sede di un'importante istituzione assistenziale e culturale. Iniziato nel 1375, la sua costruzione si distinse per il contributo di Spinello Aretino e Bernardo Rossellino, che unì elementi gotici e rinascimentali. Concluso nel 1461, fu arricchito nel 1549 dal campanile di Vasari con l’orologio astronomico di Felice Salvatore da Fossato, ancora in funzione (sono visitabili in cima al campanile i suoi meccanismi interni e subito accanto si apre una splendida terrazza con affaccio su Piazza Grande e i tetti del centro storico). Il Museo della Fraternita, rifondato nel 2010, custodisce collezioni dal XIV al XIX secolo, incluse opere, reperti archeologici e una biblioteca storica. Il palazzo ospita anche un Archivio storico, fondamentale per la storia di Arezzo. Tuttora, la Fraternita è un centro culturale e storico di...

This is a charity group that was established centuries ago. Now there is museum in their house and you can enter the roof tower with still working clock. Worth it , low entrance fee, just for the view on piazza bellow and town around.

Bellissimo palazzo, ben curato con delle opera meravigliose. L'unica cosa che non metterei a disposizione in sala con i dipinti sono i pennarelli per i bambini. Sarebbe un peccato se si rovinasse qualche dipinto. Oltre a questo, vorrei anche sottolineare alle persone maleducate di effettuare una semplice ricerca sul motivo per cui uno va a vedere un museo o un palazzo storico. Certo non è un parco giochi per i bambini né il bar del paese dove si chiacchera ad alta voce. Disturbate le persone!!!! Abbiate un po' di rispetto maleducati!
