Talk:Basilica of San Francesco, Arezzo

Fresco questions
The section The frescoes of Legend of the True Cross states that one of the frescoes is of Cupid. This seems like an odd thing to have tucked in with a bunch of Christian imagery. Can anyone confirm that this is in fact Cupid and not, for instance, a cherub or putto?

Second question, I'd like to disambiguate the St. Louis link. Can anyone confirm whether the Saint is Louis IX of France or Louis of Toulouse? (I expect the former.) Thanks. --Wayne Miller 18:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Nonsensical link
Under the section entitled Architecture is this sentence: San Francesco is the second church built by the Franciscans in Arezzo, an earlier church being located outside the city walls and destroyed during the Occupation.

There is a link for the word "Occupation" that leads to an article about WWII. Since the church that is referred to was built prior to 1290, I seriously doubt that the current church was built after the earlier church was destroyed during the occupation during WWII. More likely, the church was destroyed for defensive reasons during the Wars between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, when Ghibelline Arezzo was battling against the Guelphs of Siena. In 1288 Arezzo defeated Siena at the Battle of Pieve al Toppo and in 1289 Florence defeated Arezzo at Battle of Campaldino which was fought near town of Arezzo.
