But to do that on purpose, Guido d'Arezzo invented who are not known precisely for forgetting to invent the seventh.

History
It is the ancient Aretium, one of the twelve Etruscan cities, then a Roman colony. Ghibelline became common, long fought against Florence and other Tuscan towns Guelphs. In this stormy period, and not always happy, that goes from the beginning of the thirteenth century to the death of Guido of Tarlati (1327), Arezzo reached a magnificence and prosperity as never had over the centuries. Towards the end of the fourteenth century the city was sold to rival Florence, finally losing his freedom. There followed a long period of calm, shaken in 1799 after the Napoleonic troops who were driven out, however. By 1815, after the Congress of Vienna, Arezzo and the whole province came to be part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany reconstituted, until in 1861 following a plebiscite were annexed to the Kingdom of Italy.
