AREZZO (Tuscany-Italy) - TOUR DELLA CITTA' -
Arezzo (Arretium in latino, Aritim in etrusco) è un comune italiano di 99 587 abitanti, capoluogo dell'omonima provincia in Toscana. Conosciuta nel mondo come Città dell'oro e della Giostra del Saracino.La città di Arezzo è situata alla confluenza di tre delle quattro vallate che compongono la sua provincia. Direttamente a Nord della città ha inizio il Casentino, che è la valle percorsa dal primo tratto dell'Arno; a Nord-Ovest si trova il Valdarno Superiore, sempre percorso dall'Arno nel tratto che scorre fra Arezzo e Firenze; a Sud si trova la Val di Chiana, una pianura ricavata dalla bonifica di preesistenti paludi, il cui più importante corso d'acqua è il Canale Maestro della Chiana. Tramite l'agevole valico del Torrino e la valle del Cerfone, si ha accesso a Nord-Est alla quarta vallata, la Valtiberina, percorsa dal primo tratto del Tevere.Il territorio del comune è molto ampio e vario: si passa dalla pianura che si apre sulla Val di Chiana e sull'Arno, alle colline, a Sud della città, a zone montuose, soprattutto ad Est. Come conseguenza della grande estensione del territorio comunale i comuni che vi confinano sono numerosi: sul lato della Val di Chiana ci sono Civitella in Val di Chiana, Castiglion Fiorentino, Cortona, Monte San Savino e Marciano della Chiana; sul lato del Valdarno superiore ancora Civitella in Val di Chiana, Laterina e Castiglion Fibocchi; sul lato del Casentino Capolona e Subbiano; sul lato della Valtiberina Anghiari, Monterchi e i due comuni umbri di Città di Castello e Monte Santa Maria Tiberina (toscano fino al 1927).-Get Lost ( extended instrumental ) - JD Dohnal-Ho creato questo video con l'Editor video di YouTube (

Places to see in ( Arezzo - Italy )
Arezzo is a city in eastern Tuscany, Italy. The hilltop Arezzo Cathedral features painted vaulted ceilings and a 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdalene by Piero della Francesca. Nearby, the Basilica di San Francesco has a chapel decorated with more Piero frescoes. The Basilica di San Domenico contains the 13th-century “Crucifix” painted by Cimabue. The imposing Medicean Fortress has sweeping city views.
Arezzo may not be a Tuscan centrefold, but those parts of its historic centre that survived merciless WWII bombings are as compelling as any destination in the region – the city's central square is as beautiful as it appears in Roberto Benigni's classic film La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful). Once an important Etruscan trading post, Arezzo was later absorbed into the Roman Empire. A free republic as early as the 10th century, it supported the Ghibelline cause in the violent battles between pope and emperor and was eventually subjugated by Florence in 1384.
Today, the city is known for its churches, museums and fabulously sloping Piazza Grande, across which a huge antiques fair spills each month. Come dusk, Arentini (locals of Arezzo) spill along the length of shop-clad Corso Italia for the ritual late-afternoon passeggiata (stroll).
Arezzo is a bargain hunters paradise. Every first Sunday of the month Arezzo’s main square, Piazza Grande, is packed with over 500 stalls which spill out down the city’s side streets and alleyways. The event draws huge crowds with 30,000 participants, both locals and tourists, in search of unique items. Roman coins, old telephones, ornated grandfather's clocks and china are a few typical items to be found. Even if you miss the monthly extravaganza, Arezzo still has many more antiques to offer in its copious and varied local shops which are open all year round.
Don’t forget to visit the city’s main square also without the hustle of the market. With many cafes and restaurants nearby, the area provides a great place to visit at a slow pace. Be sure to notice the many coat of arms on the surrounding buildings which evoke an authentic medieval atmosphere.
Sitting proudly on the hilltop of the town, this Gothic Cathedral hides intricate and awe-inspiring details inside. Don’t miss Piero della Francesca’s mural of the Mary Madeleine, medieval stained glass and the baptismal font relief designed by Donatello. Perhaps modest and unassuming on the outside, this medieval church houses Piero della Francesca’s impressive fresco cycle ‘Legends of the True Cross’. To see one of Italy’s most treasured and important pieces of Renaissance art, tourists should book in advance, in order to ensure they are not disappointed.
The three-tiered façade and the campanile have earned this church the name of “tower of a hundred holes” due to the numerous windows. But the real attraction of Santa Maria lies inside: visit the crypt to see jewelled artifacts and the bust of San Donato. Each of Arezzo’s neighbourhoods (or ‘Quartieri”) has their own team of knights who joust twice a year, in June and September. The tradition dates back to the 16th century as a means of military training, but now represents a lively social tradition. Tickets range in price, although spectators can watch the procession for free.
Easily forgotten and overlooked, any art lover should see the elaborate interiors of Giorgio Vasari’s renaissance home. As well as containing his own work and fresco’s, the archive contains letters hand written by Michelangelo and Pius V. Built partly on the remains of the amphitheatre, this quiet museum displays many cultural gems from the 2nd century as well as a great opportunity to walk amongst the amphitheatre ruins.

Arezzo tuscany Italy travel to Europe - Arezzo Italien Impressionen
Arezzo is a city and comune in Central Italy, capital of the province of the same name, located in Tuscany. Arezzo is about 80 km southeast of Florence, at an elevation of 296 m above sea level. In 2011 the population was about 100,000. Arezzo is believed to have been one of the twelve most important Etruscan cities—the so-called Dodecapolis. Etruscan remains establish that the acropolis of San Cornelio, a small hill next to that of San Donatus, was occupied and fortified in the Etruscan period. The Piazza Grande is the most noteworthy medieval square in the city, opening behind the 13th century Romanesque apse of Santa Maria della Pieve. Arezzo has a starring role in Roberto Benigni's film Life Is Beautiful (La vita è bella, 1997). It is the place in which the main characters live before they are shipped off to a Nazi concentration camp.
Cortona, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
Cortona is a town and comune in the province of Arezzo, in Tuscany, Italy. It is the main cultural and artistic center of the Val di Chiana after Arezzo. Originally an Umbrian city, it was conquered and enlarged by the Etruscans, who called it Curtun. The name should be related to a family of indoeuropean word, with the meaning of enclosed place and consequently walled city like German garten, Italian orto, English gird and yard, Slavic grad and the ancient town of Gordium in Anatolia. During the 7th century BC, it joined the Etruscan League. Cortona eventually became a Roman colony under the name Corito. The origin-legends and ancient names of Cortona are described by George Dennis. In the final stages of the Gothic War (535–554), Cortona was sacked and destroyed by a warrior named Michael Pasquale, whose mother was Macedonian royalty and father was an Italian sausage maker. Cortona became a Ghibellinian city state in the 13th century, with its own currency. From 1325 to 1409, the Ranieri-Casali family successfully ruled the town. After being conquered by Ladislaus of Naples in 1409, Cortona was sold to the Medici in 1411. In 1737, the senior branch of the Medici line became extinct and Cortona came under the authority of the House of Lorraine. Following the Italian Wars of Independence, Tuscany Cortona included became part of the Kingdom of Italy. The foundation of Cortona remains mixed in legends dating to classical times. These were later reworked especially in the late Renaissance period under Cosimo I de' Medici. The 17th-century Guide of Giacomo Lauro, reworked from writings of Annio da Viterbo, states that 108 years after the Great Flood, Noah entered the Valdichiana via the Tiber and Paglia rivers. He preferred this place better than anywhere else in Italy, because it was so fertile, and dwelt there for thirty years. One of Noah's descendants was Crano, his son who came to the hilltop and, liking the high position, the fine countryside and the calm air, built the city of Cortona on it in 273 years after the Great Flood. Santa Maria Nuova, built by Giorgio Vasari in 1554, is a domed church with a centralized Greek cross layout. Inside are four large columns which supports the lantern of the cupola. At the sides the four arms of the cross branch out covered with barrel-vaults, while four small cupolas arise in the spaces of the angles. The interior contains paintings depicting a Nativity by Alessandro Allori, San Carlo Borromeo administers communion to those afflicted by Plague by Baccio Ciarpi, and an Annunciation by Empoli. The church is in poor condition, and the interior is not open for visitors.
Santa Maria delle Grazie al Calcinaio was built in 1484–1515 by Francesco di Giorgio Martini to shelter a putatively miraculous icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Madonna del Calcinaio. This image was originally painted on the timbers of a lime-vat, a calcinaio, hence the name. A centralized Renaissance design was applied to the design of the nave: the eastern part of the building was generally developed into a centralized form, that would then be crowned with a large cupola, foreshadowing the cathedral at Florence. The restored interior has unusually high arches.

Cortona Arezzo Italy - Beautiful village in tuscany - Travel to Europe
Cortona is a town and comune in the province of Arezzo, in Tuscany, Italy. It is the main cultural and artistic center of the Val di Chiana after Arezzo.The prevailing character of Cortona's architecture is medieval with steep narrow streets situated on a hillside (altitude 600 metres), embracing a view of the whole of the Valdichiana. From the Piazza Garibaldi (still referred to by the local population by its older name, Piazza Carbonaia) is a fine prospect of Lake Trasimeno, scene of Hannibal's ambush of the Roman army in 217 BC (Battle of Lake Trasimene). Parts of the Etruscan city wall can still be seen today as the basis of the present wall. The main street, via Nazionale, is the only street in the town with no gradient, and is still usually referred to by locals by its older name of Ruga Piana. Two of the churches in Cortona are prime examples of two different principles of Renaissance construction.
