Life
Guido Tarlati was the sixty-first bishop and at the same time mayor or first lord of Arezzo. He came from the Ghibelline family of the Tarlati from Pietramala , today a district of Firenzuola , and was the son of Angelo Tarlati. His mother came from the family of Frescobaldi, his brothers Piero Tarlati since Pietra Mala, Saccone called (1261-1356), and Delfo Tarlati. The family was first mentioned around 1110 and he and / or his brothers briefly owned several properties in the province of Arezzo , such as B. Talla (1314 to 1327), Chitignano (from 1325) and Sansepolcro (1321 to 1335).
It was consecrated in Avignon in 1312 by Pope Clement V and belonged to the Benedictine order of the Olivetans . In 1320 he commissioned Pietro Lorenzetti with the polyptych of the church of Santa Maria della Pieve in Arezzo.
He was appointed city lord of Arezzo for life (Signore della Città a vita) in 1321. In this role he consolidated the budget and led the city to a brief economic boom . He then reinforced the city walls and tried to reconcile the Ghibellines and Guelphs in the city and tried to avoid a direct confrontation with Siena and Florence . He supported the enemies of Florence such as Uguccione della Faggiola in the Battle of Montecatini and Castruccio Castracani in the Battle of Altopascio . He had a negative attitude towards the Guidi di Romena family from Pratovecchio and had several castles conquered by them, such as B. the fortress of Caprese Michelangelo 1324.
Since 1323 he advocated an expansionist policy with the support of Francesco I Ordelaffi from Forlì and conquered Città di Castello and on May 11th 1325 had Monte San Savino destroyed. The same fate befell Laterina in 1326.
The legate of John XXII. then opened on August 30, 1326 in Florence the trial of Castruccio Castracani and against Guido Tarlati, who had already been removed from office on April 17, 1326 by the Pope and the Consistory in Avignon, but opposed the Pope and continued the imperial cause supported. The verdict, which excommunicated the two defendants and removed them from all their offices, was pronounced in Florence in the presence of Charles in the square of Santa Croce . As the new bishop of Arezzo, Boso Ubertini was appointed as early as 1325 from the rival and pro-Fiorentine Aretine family of the Ubertini, but Tarlati did not let him enter the city. Shortly before his death, he asked the Pope for forgiveness.
Guido Tarlati was buried in the Arezzo cathedral (Cattedrale di San Donato), the tomb was commissioned in 1330 by his brothers Delfo and Pier Saccone and designed by Agostino di Giovanni and Agnolo di Ventura .
