arezzo luxury travel

Arezzo owes its name and its foundation to the Etruscans (4th century B.C.). In the Roman era, it became an important military outpost on the Via Cassia. Of lesser importance in the High Middle Ages, the city underwent an economic and building revival between the 9th and 12th centuries, thanks to the power exercised by the bishops. In 1098, it became a free commune. Conflict with the neighboring cities of Siena and Florence intensified, until it suffered a grave blow from Florence in the battle of Campaldino (1289). In the 14th century, Arezzo definitively lost its freedom and passed under the Signori of the Medici. Only with the Unity of Italy, did the city again find the strength to reaffirm its administrative and economic importance.
