Historically, Tuori served as a military outpost for the city of Arezzo. Its strategic location provided a clear line of sight over the surrounding valley, making it an integral part of a defensive network designed to monitor and protect the region. The heart of this fortification is the Cassero, a castle built in the 14th century, which functioned as a military stronghold and a center for communication, particularly with the Sienese side of the Val di Chiana.[2]
The village is home to the Church of Saints George and Luke (Chiesa dei SS. Giorgio e Luca), a religious structure with origins dating back to the 13th century. This church stands as a testament to the area's rich history.[2]
As of the latest available data, Tuori has a small population of approximately 141 residents . The community is predominantly Italian, with a small presence of foreign nationals. In 2024, the foreign population was recorded at 11 individuals, all of whom were of Albanian nationality.[2]
