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. |
