3Arezzo – Art and Antiquity

Arezzo is often overlooked, but this vibrant town is one of Tuscany’s hidden gems. Known for its rich history in art and culture, Arezzo is where the great Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca was born.

The Basilica of San Francesco houses his famous fresco cycle The Legend of the True Cross, one of the town’s must-see works of art.

In addition to its artistic heritage, Arezzo is famous for its monthly antiques fair, held in Piazza Grande, where you can find everything from furniture to vintage jewelry. Arezzo’s streets are full of life and color, with shops, cafes, and art galleries that make it a lively destination for visitors.
