Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy
Arezzo alone is enough to glorify Italy, wrote the poet Giosuè Carducci. With its many layers of art and history, this area was the cradle of the Etruscan civilization, with settlements dating back to prehistoric times and later an important Roman garrison. For a while, Arezzo was a free city, before becoming part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and so absorbing the vibrant culture of the Renaissance. It has been the home of exceptional artistic and scientific talents throughout history; including Guido Monaco, the inventor of musical notation, Piero della Francesca, considered one of the greatest representatives of early Renaissance painting, and the sublime artist, Michelangelo Buonarroti.
The Chamber of Commerce has always been on the side of the economic system of the Arezzo area and promotes the development of enterprises from their inception to the affirmation on the international markets.
Arezzo has been home to many important crafts over the centuries, the most significant being the tradition of gold-working, which dates back to the fourteenth century and made the city's workshops famous throughout the courts of Europe. Today, this ancient technique continues in a gold district made up of about 1,200 companies. It is also celebrated in Oro Arezzo, one of the most important international fairs dedicated to gold-working, silverware and jewellery, held every year in Arezzo's modern, functional Business and Conference Centre.
The fashion industry is also flourishing, thanks to some top companies which combine expert craftsmanship and innovation to create brands with a worldwide reputation. The agro-food industry is very robust, exporting traditional Italian products over the world: olive oil, wine, salami, pasta, and so on.
And then there are the electronics and engineering industries and manufacturers of prefabricated components. These are leading companies, developing advanced, cutting-edge technologies, in conformity with the very latest world standards. A forward perspective is offered by those companies in the Arezzo area that focus on technological innovation, providing high-level, hi-tech solutions which have met with approval all over the world.
The National Chamber increases the value and supports technological development and product innovation, spreading the Made in Italy excellence throughout the world.
From modern hotels to farm holiday centres - the perfect place for a relaxing holiday - from characteristic B & B.s in the historic centre to farmhouses hidden away in the valleys, Arezzo offers a rich variety of accommodation to ensure every stay is special and unique.
A favourite destination for sports tourism, Arezzo provides many opportunities to practise a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports, including football, rugby, golf, tennis, mountain biking, horseback riding and rock climbing...
The food and wine enthusiast will discover a gastronomic paradise in Arezzo.
The gastronomic tradition of Arezzo focuses on the use of wholesome raw ingredients, reflecting its origins in simple farmhouse food. The culture is rich in high quality products, renowned throughout the world. Among the best is Chianina beef, a breed of cattle which produces the high-quality Bistecca Fiorentina: the Italian steak par excellence. The healthiness of the climate, the richness of the land and the hilly landscape combine to produce excellent olive oils, as well as a fine heritage of DOCG red wines. These vibrant, intense wines are based on the Sangiovese grape, with Chianti, of course, as king of them all.

Places to see in ( Arezzo - Italy ) Fortezza Medicea
The Medici Fortress , located on the Colle di San Donato (Viale B. Buozzi) in Arezzo , is an example of a 16th century defensive military architecture. The building, perfectly inserted in the walls and the irregular pentagonal plant to adapt to the ground with bastions of different layout and shoe of considerable height compared to the plumb wall, stands at the summit of the Prato span (305 m). The forts of the Fortress constitute a panoramic point on the city, the valley of the Arno , the massif of Pratomagno and the alpe di Catenaia. The Medici Citadel probably stands on the area of the ancient medieval citadel, which probably dates back to the ninth or tenth century.
Certainly it is known that in 1319, during the fortification of the city, the Cassero di San Donato was built, which suffered serious damage due to the revolts against the bishop Guido Tarlati and that in 1343 the Aretini demolished the fortress, then rebuilt in 1344, and that between 1384 and 1398 the fortress was again demolished (this time by the French) and rebuilt by the Florentines , who in the meantime became masters of the city.
During the 1502 uprising against the Florentine dominion, the Aretini tried to demolish the fortress. The Republic of Florence, however, ordered to rebuild it according to the principles of modern fortification , entrusting the works to Giuliano and Antonio da Sangallo . This fortress (with a trapezoidal and not pentagonal shape like the current one, of which the ramparts of the Relief Bridge and of the Church on the eastern side are still visible , as well as some sections of the curtain), however, was damaged around 1530. The current fortification is that built, respecting in part the original drawings of Giuliano and Antonio da Sangallo , between 1538 and 1560 by order of Cosimo I de 'Medici . The work was directed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger .
During the construction the Palazzo del Comune was demolished with the annexed Red Tower, the ruins of the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, the Tarlati Palace of Pietramala and about 17 churches as well as the whole old turreted historic center of the fourteenth-century ancient city. Etruscan city and of the Roman Forum . The military motivation was to clear the field of artillery strikes that could be directed from the fortress against the city to prevent anti-Florentine revolts. In place was created a flat area that was filled with the ruins of the houses and buildings, called the Prato .
The works absorbed part of the previous building: the new building, on which three doors opened, was surrounded by a wide moat, and included the bastions of the Belvedere , the Spina , the Diacciaia on the western flank and the interiors (rooms, galleries , wells and air intakes). At the beginning of the nineteenth century the French troops attempted to blow up the Fortress with mines (the effects of the explosion are still visible on the west side); in 1868 it was restored a first time.
The Fossombroni family bought the Fortress in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1893, by testament of Count Enrico , it became a possession of the Municipality. It was adapted to the garden and to the public with several works carried out in the period 1896-1904. Inside one of the ramparts a door of the fourteenth-century fortress was found, adorned with a statue of San Michele Arcangelo , now preserved in the city's museums. After a new restoration, on June 24, 2016 the fortress was returned to the city; on this occasion, archaeological excavations have brought to light the remains of the church of San Donato in Cremona, dating back to the year 1000, and a mosaic flooring relating to a Roman building.

Here, high art mingles deliciously with warm sunshine and fragrant wine. History seeps through the cobblestones and small occasions are transformed into the greatest of pleasures.
Around six hundred years ago, Tuscany changed the world forever when economic, cultural and political forces collided, sparking the Renaissance. It was a new way of thought in which art and education were highly prized and the search for happiness, a noble goal.
Although the world has changed much since then, Tuscany’s values hold firm and a #vacation to this region can leave visitors happily spending days and weeks slowly rediscovering them.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Luoghi Storici: La Spada nella Roccia - Pratomagno - Arezzo
Il Pratomagno è una catena montuosa che separa il Casentino dal Valdarno, una dorsale appenninica che tocca il territorio aretino ed una piccola parte anche quello fiorentino. Il Pratomagno è un'ottima destinazione per chi vuole ammirare delgli splendidi paesaggi: infatti dalla cima più alta si ammira la splendida valle dell'Arno, il Casentino e si potrà scorgere nei giorni più limpidi anche il Monte Amiata, il Monte Cetona.
Il periodo più bello per andare alla scoperta di questa montagna è senza dubbio la primavera quande i bellissimi prati verdi sono i veri protagonisti dell'escursione. I sentieri che si snodano all'interno del Pratomagno sono tanti ed ognuno merita di essere scoperto proprio per ammirare la bellezza del territorio. In quest'articolo vogliamo segnalare un sentiero in particolare: quello che parte dall'area di sosta Pian dei Lavacchi sul Monte Lori ed arriva alla croce del Pratomagno. Un sentiero unico per la sua bellezza, percorrendo il sentiero CAI 00, si potrà avere una panoramica sul Valdarno e sul Casentino. Un sentiero molto semplice, lungo circa 17 km andata e ritorno, che si snoda su infinite praterie, per chi fosse interessato al tracciato gps ed altre informazioni consultate questo articolo. Percorrendo questa escursione possiamo fare una piccola deviazione per raggiungere un luogo ricco di leggenda: infatti sull'altopiano è stata forgiata una spada secondo le originali tecniche e forme del medioevo feudale e poi incastrata su una roccia. Non si conosce la leggenda di questa spada, ma si sa di certo che nel Medioevo i popoli del Casentino invasi dai goti di Totila cercarono di trovare rifugio proprio qui in Pratomagno, e magari la spada fu posta qua per commemorare le battaglie e gli scontri con queste popolazioni.
The Pratomagno is a mountain range that separates the Casentino from the Valdarno, an Apennine ridge that touches the Aretino territory and a small part also the Florentine. The Pratomagno is a great destination for those who want to admire its beautiful landscapes: in fact, from the highest peak you admire the splendid Arno valley, the Casentino and you will see on Mount Monte Cetona Mount Amiata even more clear days.
The most beautiful time to discover this mountain is undoubtedly the spring when the beautiful green meadows are the real protagonists of the hike. The trails that run within the Pratomagno are so many and everyone deserves to be discovered just to admire the beauty of the territory. In this article we want to point out a path in particular: the one that starts from the park of Pian dei Lavacchi on Mount Lori and arrives at the cross of the Pratomagno. A unique path for its beauty, along the CAI 00 trail, you will have an overview of Valdarno and Casentino. A very simple trail, about 17 km round trip, winding on endless meadows, for those interested in the GPS track and other information, see this article. In this hike we can make a small deviation to reach a place rich in legend: in fact on the plateau a sword was forged according to the original techniques and forms of the feudal Middle Ages and then stuck on a rock. The legend of this sword is unknown, but it is certain that in the Middle Ages Casentino peoples invaded by Totila's goths tried to find refuge here in Pratomagno, and maybe the sword was placed here to commemorate battles and clashes with These populations.
