About Arezzo

Arezzo is a hill city in eastern Tuscany, with a sloping medieval square, Piero della Francesca's frescoes and a long goldsmithing tradition.

Arezzo climbs a hill in eastern Tuscany, an Etruscan and Roman town with a medieval core. Piazza Grande, a sloping square lined with palaces, loggias and the apse of a Romanesque church, hosts a jousting tournament, the Giostra del Saracino, held in June and September. Petrarch was born here in 1304, and so was the painter and writer Giorgio Vasari, in 1511. Scenes of the film Life Is Beautiful were shot in the old town.

Top-ranked sights in Arezzo: Santa Margherita Basilica (Basilica di Santa Margherita), Arezzo Piazza Grande, Arezzo Cathedral.
