The notoriety of this medieval village is connected to a battle painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The clash took place at the foot of the town on June 29, 1440 between troops composed of men-at-arms in the service of Florence on one side and Milan on the other. Who won? What is the story behind Leonardo's work?

The answers can be found in Piazza Mameli, the ancient Borghetto, where the Renaissance of this Tuscan town flourishes. Inside the sixteenth-century Palazzo del Marzocco, the Museo della Battaglia di Anghiari preserves and enhances the testimonies of the historical and artistic event, among which is a rare seventeenth-century work by the Flemish artist Gérard Edelinck, one of the most important copies of the lost original by Leonardo, depicting the skirmish for the standard. In addition to the classic exhibitions, there is the exclusive digital documentation system with which all the drawings and paintings derived from Leonardo's work can be examined in detail.

Inside the museum, there are also collections of objects and documents useful for reconstructing the history of Anghiari, which allow you to discover, for example, that in the eighteenth century the town had become an important center for the production of firearms, objects famous for the refinement of their decorations.
