Arezzo.
Arezzo Is The Fascinating City Of Art With
Etruscan Origins. Standing On A Site Inhabited By
Man Since The Dawn Of Time, As Seen From The
Prehistoric Remains Dating From The Palaeolithic
Period, The City Was One Of The Most Powerful
Lucumonie *metropolises* In Etruria Between The
Sixth And Fifth Century Bc. In Fact, The Remains

And A Necropolis Situated In The Upper Part Of
The Town, Along With Architectonic Fragments

Barbarian Invasions And Lombard And Carolingian
Domination, After 1000 There Followed The
Constitution Of The Free Commune And A Complete
Renewal Of The Town, Involved In The New
Economic, Demographic And Constructional Ferment.
A Very Active Cultural Centre, From The Beginning
Of The Twelfth Century To The Death Of Bishop
Guido Dei Tarlati - Munificent Lord Of The Town -
In 1327, Arezzo In The Fourteenth Century Took On
A Sumptuous And Magnificent Appearance, Thanks To
The Work Of The Best Artists Of The Period, First

Della Francesca, Who - Summoned To The Building
Of Beautiful Churches And Fine Palazzos, Also
Embellished The Numerous Buildings Already

Florentine Architects. With The Advent Of The
Medici Lords And The Formation Of The Grand Duchy
Of Tuscany, The Town Enjoyed A Long Period Of
Stability - Interrupted Only In 1799, By The
Invasion Of The Napoleonic Forces - Which Lasted
Until 1861, The Year In Which Arezzo And Its
Province Were Annexed To The Kingdom Of Italy.

The Lay Brotherhood, That Of The Court And That
Of The Logge. Moreover, The Town Has An Extremely
Interesting Museum Of Medieval And Modern Art,
Housed In The Majestic Palazzo Della Dogana - The
Customs House, With A Vast Anthology Of Tuscan
Masterpieces From The High Middle Ages Up To The
Nineteenth Century. Proud Custodian Of Its Old
Traditions, Arezzo Is Also Very Well-known For
The Spectacular Giostra Del Saracino, A

Roves Over The Fascinating Scenery Of The

City Of Art In The Province Of Arezzo, Its
Origins, Cloaked In Legend, Are Still Uncertain.
Inhabited Since The Seventh Century Bc, By The
Etruscans First, Choosing It For Its Favorable
Geographic Position, It Became From The Fifth
Century Bc Onwards One Of The Most Prosperous
Lucumonie Of Etruria - As Testified By The
Substantial Remains Of The Defensive Walls, Which
Still Today Enclose The Town, And Other Important

The Fourth Century Bc, An Important Roman Colony*
Later It Was Devastated By Barbarian Invasions.
However, After The Twelfth Century, Following The
Formation Of The Free Commune, The Town Developed
