3Arezzo – Art and Antiquity
Arezzo, less crowded than other Tuscan cities, is a treasure trove of art, history, and antiques. The city is famous for its monthly antiques fair, held in the picturesque Piazza Grande, which brings vendors and collectors from all over Italy. Arezzo’s artistic heritage is on display in the Basilica di San Francesco, home to Piero della Francesca’s famous frescoes, The Legend of the True Cross.
The city’s museums, like the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, showcase Etruscan and Roman artifacts, reflecting Arezzo’s ancient past. With its less touristy atmosphere and beautiful medieval streets, Arezzo provides an authentic Tuscan experience that’s perfect for travelers seeking something off the beaten path.
