4Arezzo – Art, Antiques, and Tuscan Soul
Just one hour from Florence, Arezzo is one of Tuscany’s most underrated gems. Once home to the Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca, it’s a city of art, history, and noble charm.
The Piazza Grande is the heart of Arezzo, surrounded by elegant arcades and palaces, and it hosts Italy’s largest antique market on the first weekend of every month. The Basilica di San Francesco contains frescoes that are considered among the greatest masterpieces of the early Renaissance.
Arezzo feels authentic and unhurried, with fewer crowds than Florence but plenty of beauty, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a more tranquil Tuscan experience.
