Explore Ancient Arezzo While the medieval lanes are thoroughly charming, the city actually dates to the 4th century BC, and has some monuments to prove it.
The powerful Medici family had a hand in Arezzo and their Florentine flair is seen on public buildings, aristocratic palaces, and churches around town. There are many things to see and do in Arezzo, but here’s my top 10 list to give you a good introduction to this charming Italian city. Revel in Renaissance Art ©Pegasophoto/iStock Like other Tuscan cities, Arezzo was lathered with Renaissance art. Hometown hero, Piero della Francesca, was one of the early Old Masters, a mathematician and pioneer in painting techniques like perspective, foreshortening, and three-dimensional modeling of his figures. His works influenced the later Renaissance period. Follow the Piero della Francesca trail and see how he revolutionized the art world. The Basilica of San Francesco houses Piero’s acclaimed masterpiece, The Legend of the True Cross.

The Diocesan Museum, in the Bishop’s Palace across from the cathedral, is packed with paintings, and includes a room dedicated to works by Vasari. The $3. 30 admission fee is a bargain. If you’ve noticed Giorgio Vasari’s name a lot here, it’s because he was from Arezzo. You can visit his family home, Museo Casa Vasari, which he frescoed himself and the visit also includes the gardens. The town’s renowned Archeological Museum will definitely impress you with its collection of stunning artifacts from the Etruscan and Roman sites—bronze statues, stone sculptures, pottery, and much more. A highlight is the Chimera, a legendary lion in bronze dating to the 4th century BC, and a symbol of Arezzo.

If you gaze at only one piece of artwork in Arezzo, it should be this one—a massive and detailed fresco cycle that took 20 years to complete. Next stop is the cathedral at the top of town where Piero’s depiction of Mary Magdalene shows off his mastery of light and shadow. La Maddalena looks like she will walk right off the wall and into the church. The frescoes in the gothic vaulted ceiling and the delicately carved altarpiece are nothing to scoff at, either. Nearby Sansepolcro was Piero della Francesca’s birthplace, and several of his works are found in the civic building. His rendition of The Resurrection was deemed so beautiful that it stopped the Allies’ bombing during WWII to spare it. There’s plenty of art beyond Piero della Francesco, though. Museo d’Arte Medievale e Moderna is housed in a Renaissance palazzo with gorgeous cloister and free admission, with works by Signorelli, Vasari, Margarito, and many others.
