Arezzo: Guide
Arezzo is a city in Tuscany, Italy.
Get in
By plane
Arezzo can be reached by flying to Italian major international airports in Rome and Milan, or to the two airports in Tuscany:
Pisa International Airport Galileo Galilei (IATA:PSA) , located 1.5km (1 mile) north of Pisa city centre.
Florence Airport Amerigo Vespucci (IATA:FLR) , Located four kilometers from the center of Florence.
Arezzo's train station which is located at the edge of the historic old town, offers frequent connections to cities like Florence and Rome.
Arezzo's historic old town is small enough to explore on foot. If you have a rental car, you can park in one of the municipal lots for under ten Euros for the entire day, then walk up into the historic centre. WARNING: Arezzo is atop a steep incline, and you will feel as though you are walking uphill pretty much everywhere. Wear comfortable shoes.
Arezzo Cathedral (Duomo), Piazza del Duomo. Daily 7AM-12:30PM and 3-6:30PM.
Church of San Francesco, Piazza San Francesco, Tel. +39-0575-20630.
Museo del Duomo, (on the back side of the Duomo).
Casa della Petrarca Only open if you knock and ask nicely if you can come in; this is the home of famous Italian medieval poet Petrarch. Hours vary depending on the mood of the proprietor, but it is totally worth it.
La Vita e Bella Roberto Begnini's Academy Award-winning film was shot here in Arezzo, and as you proceed through the city centre, you will see colorful signs featuring pictures from the film at the specific locations of actual filming. Spend at least an hour wandering from sign to sign.
Arezzo is home to an annual medieval festival called the Joust of the Saracens (Giostra del Saracino). In this, "knights" on horseback representing different areas of the town charge at a wooden target attached to a carving of a Saracen king and score points according to accuracy. Virtually all the town's people dress-up in medieval costume and enthusiastically cheer on the competitors.
Arezzo is also home to an annual popular music and culture festival, each July, called Arezzo Wave. Publicly funded, it attracts bands of high repute and attendees from all over Europe and North America. It also features literary and film expositions. From summer 2007 Arezzo Wawe will move to Florence.
The Arezzo Festival - an annual summer theatre festival that brings together emerging professional and university-based performance groups from all over the world.
Arezzo is famous for his cuisine too. The most famous dishes of Arezzo are Acquacotta, a bread soup made with porcini mushrooms and Ribollita, a bread soup made with many different vegetables but you can also taste the wonderful Chianina Steak and all sort of pastas. Arezzo's wines are also very appreciated all around the world.
