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. |
