For many, Arezzo is simply an art city. Actually, that would be a reductive definition. For it, and for the many towns that dot its territory-Cortona, Poppi, Bibbiena, Anghiari, Sansepolcro and others. This territory is actually a point between culture and memory: the Arezzo area is forged by alegacy that has accumulated over more than two millennia of history.

Nestled between the folds of the Apennines and the soft reliefs of the Val di Chiana, Arezzo’s position between the north and south of the Italian peninsula has, over the centuries, made it a crossroads of trade, routes, and cultural exchange. But what really distinguishes Arezzo is its ability to have collected, sedimented and returned an extraordinary legacy, which manifests itself in the landscape, architecture and cultural fabric of an area that seems never to have ceased its dialogue with the past.
