AREZZO E LA TOSCANA


Art and culture

Tuscany is famed the world over for its wealth of monuments and works of art, for its rolling hills, its unusual light and the absolute beauty of its landscapes. Arezzo, too, a town which boasts Etruscan origins but has no shortage of high fashion shops for anyone who wants to go in for a bit of shopping, is richly endowed with treasures and beauty just waiting to be discovered. Among its most beautiful gems, absolutely unmissable are the splendid series of frescoes of the Legend of the True Cross in Saint Francis’ Basilica and the beautiful representation of Mary Magdalen in the Cathedral, painted by one of the Great Masters of the Renaissance and one of the most famous sons of this region, Piero della Francesca. The journey of discovery of Piero della Francesca’s works can be extended, while remaining within the province of Arezzo, by visiting Sansepolcro and Monterchi, two old towns immersed in an enchanted and enchanting landscape of solemn cypresses, generous olive trees and flower-filled gardens which house artistic and architectural treasures.

Genuinely beautiful places, a delight for mind and body alike, a blessed land where artistic and landscape beauty still evoke famous historic events, a glorious past of artists, mystics and military leaders. The visitor, whether travelling on business or on a cultural trip, is always afforded true hospitality, a hearty welcome and the authentic traditional flavors of Tuscany at every meal. For those who want to venture a little further afield, world-famous towns such as Florence, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa and Siena can easily be reached and visited in a day trip.
