Review & FAQ:

Arezzo sits on top of a hill in southeastern Tuscany, located at the intersection of the Valdarno, Casentino, Valdichiana, and Val Tiberina Valleys.

Though its tenure as a city center dates back to the Paleolithic era, it has been one of the region’s wealthiest cities since the opening of the Etruscan Atrium in the ninth century B.C. Today, it is best known as the filming site of Oscar-winning feature film Life is Beautiful, with information about the film’s locations decorating the city’s famous sights to orient tourists and fans.

Major attractions include the famed Basilica di San Francisco, which showcases a fresco cycle portraying the Legend of the True Cross, and the beautiful hilltop Arezzo Cathedral.
