Nice little town by Jennifer

Arezzo is quite nice, and is located about an hour south of Florence and about two hours Northish of Rome. I studied abroad in Italy and lived in Arezzo for almost four months. The town is conservative, and pretty traditional, but its wealth from gold and such give it a small but interesting cosmopolitan edge.

On the very top of the slope live the aristocrats, peering down at the newly wealthy citizens who are gradually moving upwards, both literally and figuratively. The city is best known for its antiques and its artistic masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, and stained-glass marvels by Guillaume de Marcillat. Arretium was an important member of the 12-city Etruscan confederation, and it was famous in Roman times for its mass-produced corallino ceramics. The Ghibelline medieval comune ran afoul of Florence's Guelfs, and the city's armies were soundly trounced by Florence in the 1289 Battle of Campaldino. (The Florentine forces counted a young Dante Alighieri among the foot soldiers.) More recently, the city's gotten some international face time as the setting for Roberto Benigni's 1999 Oscar-winning film La Vita è Bella (Life Is Beautiful). (read article)
