Arezzo Private Culture & Craftsmanship Tour

We'll meet at the time of your choice in Piazza del Duomo, in front of the Arezzo Cathedral. This Tuscan city has been the birthplace of great personalities such as Giorgio Vasari. Did you know that this architect and painter was one of the first art historians?

After learning about Vasari's legacy, we'll visit several workshops in Arezzo where we'll discover the main products of local craftsmanship. Manufacturing is not the only talent that has developed in the city, however. The Seventh Art also plays an important role and, as proof, we'll see the real sets where the movie Life is Beautiful was filmed.

We'll continue this tour of Arezzo in its emblematic Piazza Grande, an esplanade in the historic center of the city where we'll see its famous medieval towers. We'll also learn about the history of the Saracen Joust, one of the main public events held in the square.

The next stop will be at the Basilica of San Francesco, where we'll admire the magnificent frescoes of The Legend of the True Cross, a true masterpiece of the Tuscan painter Piero della Francesca, whose works are among the most outstanding of the Quattrocento.

After a two-hour route, we'll conclude our tour of Arezzo's culture and craftsmanship at the Basilica of San Francesco.
