arezzo

At first sight it looks like one of the many Medieval Tuscan cities, but in reality its origins date back to the VI century B. C. At that time the urban site was situated on the top of the hill, where you can now find the ëPratoí Gardens. In Etruscan times it was quite an important centre, one of the twelve ëlucumoniaeí, so the Etruscan city-states were called. Later on it became a Roman town and was quite important for its strategic location in the centre of Italy. We can still see some remains of a Roman amphitheatre in town and some famous vases, called ëcorallineí for their reddish colour, in the Archeological Museum.During the Middle Ages Arezzo was a free Commune.But the gradual expansion of the dominion of Arezzo came into contrast with the economic and political interests of nearby Siena and Florence.
