The Frescoes of the Church of San Donato are housed within the Pieve di San Donato, a Romanesque church in Sestino, a town in the province of Arezzo, Tuscany. Sestino itself is a place of ancient origins, with its roots in the Roman era, as evidenced by the 'Antiquarium Nazionale di Sestino,' a local archaeological museum displaying Roman artifacts, including a notable statue of Venus. The town is dominated by the imposing Sasso di Simone, a massive limestone rock formation that is part of a regional nature reserve, offering spectacular views and hiking opportunities. While Sestino doesn't have grand castles or aristocratic palaces in the traditional sense, its historical center retains a medieval character. The main fortress is the Rocca di Sestino, ruins of a medieval stronghold that once controlled the valley. The Church of San Donato itself is the primary monument, with its frescoes being the main attraction. Nearby, you can explore the Montefeltro region, with towns like San Leo and its formidable fortress, or Pennabilli. The area is known for traditional events, including local food festivals celebrating products like the Sestino potato.
