Comune di Arezzo
A city with a wealth of artistic heritage, Arezzo has a town centre that still today retains the fascination of its illustrious past. The buildings and monuments have been enriched with the works of such great medieval and Renaissance artists as Cimabue, Piero della Francesca, Andrea della Robbia and Giorgio Vasari. Arezzo is also widely known for its Antiques Fair held on the first Sunday of each month, and for the Giostra, or Joust of the Saracen, not forgetting the International Polyphonic Competition Guido d’Arezzo. The city was the birthplace of the great poet Francesco Petrarch, and has more recently come to international prominence as the setting of Roberto Benigni’s acclaimed film “Life is Beautiful”.
