15. The Town
Our school is in the centre of the town of San
Giovanni Valdarno, in the Upper Arno Valley.
It's on the banks of River Arno. It was
designed and built from scratch in 1296 and
was intended as one of the outposts of the
Florentine in the valley against their rival
towns. At that time various towns of Italy were
independent and functioned as small states
always in war with each others.

16. The design of the historic centre is based on
the organization of Roman cities with a large
central piazza from which two main roads run
perpendicular to each other. From these two
main roads run other secondary streets.
The town is the birthplace of the early
Renaissance painter Masaccio.

18. A Strategic position
● San Giovanni Valdarno is in a really
strategic position on the communication
backbone of Italy. The main national
motorway and railway go through its territory
connecting the North and the South of our
country. The upper Arno Valley is in the very
middle of Tuscany and in the very middle of
Italy's and Europe's History.
