Arezzo

At the end of the XIV century Arezzo went under the domination of Florence and the Medici family, thus changing its direction in history. Arezzo’s historic centre still shows several beautiful masterpieces of Italian art which are featured in my guided walking tours: its 1000-year-old Parish Church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, its gothic Cathedral with a complex marble altar (Arca of Saint Donato, Arezzo’s protector), its medieval Dominican and Franciscan churches (the former houses a crucifix painted by a young Cimabue, the latter world famous frescoes by Piero della Francesca), numerous medieval palaces, Piazza Grande (the main square) with its tower houses that form the perfect scenery for the Antique Market (the oldest and most known in Italy that takes place on the first Sunday of each month) and for the Joust of the Saracen (on 3rd Saturday of June and 1st Sunday of September) – all this reminds us of Arezzo’s glorious history and culture.

Con un gruppo di amici abbiamo trascorso la fine dell’anno 2022 ad Arezzo, visitando Anghiari, Cortona e Arezzo, guidati dalla Dott.ssa Sandra Giusti, guida abilitata, che grazie alla sua preparazione e passione ci ha fatto apprezzare il territorio della Provincia di Arezzo per la sua storia, architettura, cultura, tradizioni e non ultimo per le eccellenze enogastronomiche. Grazie Dott.ssa Sandra per averci reso indimenticabile questa esperienza. Giuseppe Coppola

Visita guidata nella storia di Arezzo! Grazie ad un tour guidato abbiamo avuto la possibilità di visitare la "cenerentola della Toscana".. che in questo periodo si trasforma nella. Città del Natale.. con luminarie e mercatini tirolesi caratteristici. La guida turistica attraverso le scale mobili, molto carine, con le pareti affrescate... ci ha condotto in piazza grande. Per prima cosa abbiamo visitato esternamente ed internamente il duomo che è una cattedrale stile gotico con affreschi di Piero della Francesca e 7 mosaici francesi alle vetrate.Abbiamo poi osservato il palazzo vescovile, il Palazzo Priori ghibellino, la casa del Petrarca, il pozzo di Totano (citato nella novella del Decamerlne del Boccaccio), le logge del Vasari, la piazza dove si svolge il palio di Arezzo, la chiesa di Santa Maria della Pieve dove è stato battezzato Vasari. All interno è presente anche un politico su oro del Lorenzetti del 1350, la chiesa di Gesù, Chiesa di San Domenico. Per ultima la fortezza Medicea addobbata a fortezza delle Meraviglie ed il parco degli elfi . E'stata colta l' occasione anche x visitare il mercatino artigianale natalizio e quello Dell antiquariato presente in città.. Da segnalare la cartellonistica relativa al film la vita è bella di Benigni che indica un percorso speciale sulle zone del set cinematografico. Un giro sulla ruota panoramica ha concluso la giornata in questa antica città Toscana.
