Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cortona<\/strong>, city, Toscana (Tuscany<\/a>) regione,<\/em> central Italy<\/a>, on the southern slope of San Egidio Hill just north of Lake Trasimeno<\/a>. The Roman<\/a> Corito, it was probably of Umbrian origin but was later an important Etruscan<\/a> magisterial centre. It emerged from a long period of obscurity in 1202 as a free commune. Sacked by the forces of nearby Arezzo<\/a> city in 1258, Cortona recovered and had its own mint and became an episcopal see in 1325. After a long period of peace, it was besieged in 1529 by the armies of Pope Clement VII and the emperor Charles V; thereafter, it was joined to the grand duchy of Tuscany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remnants of the Etruscan walls are incorporated in the medieval<\/a> town walls, and the 4th-century bc Etruscan tomb erroneously said to be that of the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras also survives. The 13th-century Pretorio (or Casali) Palace houses the Etruscan museum. Notable medieval churches include the originally Romanesque cathedral, much altered; the former church of the Ges\u00f9, now housing the diocesan museum; and the Gothic churches of San Domenico, San Francesco<\/a>, Santa Margherita, and Santa Maria del Calcinaio. The museum and many of the churches house fine paintings by Fra Angelico<\/a> and Luca Signorelli<\/a>, a native of Cortona. The Medicea Fortress (1556) overlooks the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture and stock raising are the main occupations. Pop. (2006 est.) 22,563.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
