Stroll Through The Historical Landmarks Of Arezzo
- The tour of Arezzo's medieval city centre begins at the City Hall square, where visitors will learn why Ferrari has the same symbol as Arezzo’s emblem.
- The guide will then lead the way to the big Arezzo Cathedral and explain why its construction was interrupted multiple times. Visitors will have the opportunity to admire the Roman columns that are said to hold fascinating mysteries, and the guide will be happy to reveal them.
- The tour continues through the city's most elegant streets and palaces, each adorned with their original coats of arms. Along the way, the guide will share interesting facts about Arezzo, including its connection to Michelangelo and a local monk's invention of the musical notes do-re-mi-fa-sol.
- The tour culminates at the heart of the historical centre, the Piazza Grande, surrounded by medieval towers and Renaissance palaces. This is the site of the famous Joust of the Saracen, a medieval competition between city districts, and it may also be familiar to visitors as the location of scenes from the 1999 Oscar-winning film "Life is Beautiful".
- The tour ends with a visit to Santa Maria della Pieve Church-- the oldest church in Arezzo and its fascinating sculptures, followed by a leisurely walk along the main road to take in the local shops, cafes, and restaurants
