Arezzo
is set in the south-east of Tuscany, in
the middle of four marvellous valleys
which radiate off from the town: the "Val
Tiberina" , "Casentino ",
"Valdarno" and "Valdichiana".
The artistic city itinerary incudes highly
interesting elements with extremely original
characteristics, the yearly Antique Furniture
Exhibition that takes place at the very
beginning of September is very
well known and attended by many people.
Apart from Valtiberina with its works
of art, pastures and woodland, the area
also offers splendid landscapes where
you can find famous monastic settlements,
completely surrounded by century-old trees
and numerous romanesque parishes. From
the city of Cortona, at 600 m. the valley
extends like a garden. Cortona is a great
artistic and cultural attraction not only
for its Etruscan past, of which many significant
tokens have remained, but also for many
architectural and pictorial works of different
epochs.
