Arezzo & The Town of Gold

Arezzo - Aerial view of the town

Situated at the intersection of the Valdarno, the Valdichiana and the Casentino Arezzo is a town in south-eastern Tuscan that has maintained its Medieval structure. The Basilica di San Francesco is the most important monument of this city so rich in places to interest, such as the Cathedral and the Pieve di Santa Maria. The church houses the "Legend of the True Cross", the famous cycle of frescoes by Piero della Francesca.

Spending your holidays in Arezzo offers you the occasion for visiting the many historical towns scattered in the surrounding countryside - Cortona, Poppi, Sansepolcro, Bibbiena and Anghiari - and for plunging in the suggestive atmosphere of the Eremo di Camaldoli (Camaldoli hermitage).

To those who love folkloric events, Arezzo offers the "Giostra del Saracino" (Saracen Joust). Arezzo hosts an important antiques fair and the "Mostra internazionale dell`oreficeria e della bigiotteria" (International gold, silver and jewellery trade exhibition) as well.

Arezzo - At the Intersection of Three Valleys

In south-eastern Tuscany Arezzo is situated at the intersection of three valleys: Casentino Upper Valdarno and Valdcichiana.

The Arno river crosses the first two valley while slowly flowing towards Florence and the Tyrrhenian Sea; the Valdichiana once a marshland that has now been drained, is the valley of the torrent Chiana (hence its name). The Valtiberina is the fourth valley composing the province of Arezzo
