**Historical Charm in the Heart of Arezzo**
Located on the top floor of a historic building on Via Mazzini, in the heart of Arezzo, this apartment offers a unique blend of art, history, and religious significance.

The top-floor apartment was home to Bishop Bernardino Cellesi, the capitular vicar of the Diocese of Arezzo, from around 1795 to the early 19th century. A Latin inscription in the entrance room, which was likely a prayer chapel, confirms Bishop Cellesis residency and his efforts to honor the Virgin Mary in 1801.Upon entering the apartment, one is greeted by a high vaulted prayer chapel, which, despite not being fully restored, hints at the artistic richness within.

This event led to the construction of a chapel in Arezzo Cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady of Comfort, with frescoes by renowned painters Luigi Ademollo and Luigi Catani.Bishop Cellesi played a crucial role during this time, overseeing the completion of the chapels frescoes and supporting the Viva Maria uprising against French occupation in Tuscany. His support of the resistance aligned the local church with the Medici family, who had historically contributed to the regions development.**The Frescoes and Chapel in the Flat**Bishop Cellesis connection to the painters Ademollo and Catani suggests that they may have also frescoed his apartment.
