Accommodations in Arezzo Toscana
Arezzo administrative
centre of the province, is situated at the northern end of the
Valdichiana and can be easily reached as it is linked to the
Autostrada del Sole and is crossed by the main Milan-Florence-Rome
railway line. Arezzo was founded by the Etruscan and called Aretium;
the most representative work of the etruscan period is the Chimera,
a bronze statuette of the Vth century B.C. which has become the
symbol of the town. Later Arezzo passed into the hands of the Romans
(IV-III century) and had a great development. We can begin the tour
of the town just from the Roman remains, of which the Archeological
museum is rich. This museum was estabilished in 1934 at its present
location, no.10 Via Margaritone and it overlooks the vast open space
of the Roman Amphitheatre. It occupies two
storeys and in its several rooms we can admire Etruscan, Italic,
Roman and Greek coins, Etruscan and Roman bronzes, statues,
structural remains of the upper section of the Amphitheatre, Greek
and Roman vases and example of the Aretine ceramics: the typical
coral vases,decorated by relief and painted with the characteristic
rose coral colour thanks to which Arezzo was famous during the Roman
period.

After the Archeological museum and the Roman Amphitheatre,
going towards Guido Monaco square and walking along the street
bearing the same name, we find ourselves in front of the Church of
S. Francesco in the homonimous square. This church, started
in the second half of the 13th century from the Franciscan monks and
completed at the end of the 14th century, in the course of the 15th
and 16th century was adorned with shrines, chapels and frescoes;
however, the attention of the visitor is attracted,above all, by the
fascinating scene of the 10 panels of the Legend of the True Cross,
painted by Piero della Francesca. |
