Tuoro.—83 M. Passignano (Alb. Balducci, R. 1 fr.), with an
ancient castle and a bathing-establishment on the lake. Steamer,
see p. 60. Two tunnels.—89½ M. Magione, with an old fortress
of the Baglioni, lies 2 M. and 4 M. respectively from Torricella and
San Feliciano (p. 60). — 96½ M. Ellera. Short tunnel.
102½ M. Perugia (994 ft.; Rail. Restaurant), picturesquely
situated on the hill to the left, see p. 67.

83 M. Narrow Gauge Railway (Ferrovia Appennino Centrale): two
through-trains daily in 5¾-8½ hrs. (fares 5 fr. 35, 3 fr. 85 c.).
Arezzo, see p. 51.—The train diverges from the line to Rome
(p. 56) and begins to ascend more rapidly towards the hills to the
S.E. of Arezzo, affording a picturesque retrospect of the town and
plain. It mounts as far as the Scopetone, the W. parallel chain of
the Umbrian Apennines, separating the valleys of the Arno and
Tiber. This part of the line, the most interesting from an engineer-
ing point of view, traverses 20 tunnels and several viaducts.—
Beyond (11 M.) Palazzo del Pero ( 1325 ft.) we descend to the N.E.
through the wooded valley of the Cerfone, a tributary of the Tiber.
—19½ M. Ville-Monterchi (1023 ft.) in a hollow, from which a
steeper ascent leads northwards to (20 M.) Citerna (1049 ft.).—
24 M. Anghiari (1109 ft.), a small town ( 1927 inhab.) picturesquely
situated on a hill ( 1407 ft.).—The train traverses the highly cul-
tivated plain, once a lake-basin, crosses the Tiber, and reaches —
28 M. San Sepolcro or Borgo San Sepolcro (1082 ft.; Alb.
Fiorentin, Via Venti Settembre), a little town with 4537 inhab.
and old walls, at the foot of the Alpe della Luna (4769 ft.). It
was the birthplace of Piero della Francesca (ca. 1420-92; comp.
p. 52), who may be studied here to advantage, and of Raffaello dal
Colle ( 1490-1540), a pupil of Raphael. Hurried travellers may see
the points of interest in about two hours.
About 300 yds. from the station we pass through the Porta
Fiorentina to the right into the Via Venti Settembre, which leads
to the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele Secondo. The Via Barbagliati soon
diverges to the right to the Piazza Santa Chiara, where the church of
Santa Chiara contains an Assumption by Piero d'Antonio Dei and
a fine Nativity in the style of the Robbla. — On a house on the left
in the Via Venti Settembre (No. 20) is a Romanesque frieze in relief.
The Piazza Vittorio Emannele Secondo adjoins the Piazza Gari-
baldi, on the left of which stands the Palazzo del Comune, contain-
ing a small Picture Gallery (open all day; fee). Among the chief
paintings, mostly brought from the churches of the town, are the
following: Piero della Francesca, Resurrection (fresco), Madonna
