Arezzo

Enjoy the beauty of Italy with our not-to-be-missed trips! A chauffeur will pick you up from the previously arranged place in the luxury car you chose before and will lead you to Arezzo, which is also known as the City of gold thanks to its importance in traditional gold manufacturing. The city is rich in artistic and architectural heritage of two of the greatest Italian Renaissance masters, who were born, lived and worked here: the architect and historiographer Giorgio Vasari and the painter Piero della Francesca. You will visit Piazza Grande, particularly famous for its peculiar trapezoidal shape, where you will see churches, historical buildings such as the Palazzo delle Logge (designed by Vasari), artisans and workshops. You will be struck by the frescoes in the small Basilica of San Francesco (made of stones and bricks), which houses one of the greatest masterpieces of the Italian painting, The Legend of the True Cross” by Piero della Francesca. The Church of San Domenico, instead, hosts the first work by Cimabue, a three meters high cross which was painted in the second half of the 13th century. Additionally, a medieval game called the Joust of the Saracens brings the city back to the Middle Ages twice a year with its musicians, flag-bearers, horses, knights and damsels. The first contest is held on the third Saturday of June during the night, while the second one is on the first Sunday of September but during the day. Your day trip will then lead you to Cortona, small Etruscan town situated in Val di Chiana between Arezzo and the Umbria region, which boasts a vast archaeological area and lots of aristocratic residences. Its numerous churches and the Diocesan Museum house majestic masterpieces, among which some canvas by the Renaissance painter Beato Angelico. Nowadays Cortona is a flourishing artisanal and gastronomic center and one of the main touristic destinations in Tuscany. In order to enjoy all of this tour we suggest do it with a dedicated guide exclusively available for you.
