Palazzo Sinigardi is located in the historical centre of Arezzo, very close to the Piazza Grande, site of several scenes from 'Life is Beautiful'. It is one of the most important buildings in the Via Pellicceria to have maintained its original structure (numbers 2 and 4) . It housed several members of the Sinigardi family, Guelf by tradition, wealthy and illustrious since the 13th century. Among them the Blessed Benedetto, (+ 1282) who was welcomed in the Ordine dei Minori (Order of the Minorites) by St. Francis himself. His body is exposed in the Basilica San Francesco to public veneration.
