Welcome to Cortona
Both history and archaeology confirm the importance of Cortona in Etruscan times, when it was one of the twelve most important kingdoms in what was then Etruria. Impressive traces of this period can still be seen in the town and its territory. In short, it is a town rich in history, yet open minded and contemporary, which welcomes the modern world. In recent decades, for example, numerous international schools and universities have chosen Cortona as their Italian base, as well as national and international artists who appreciate its spirit of great intellectual openness and extraordinary quality of life.
