A Guide to Arezzo

Enjoy setting up a base and living in a hill town.

After you have visited Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and Siena you're thinking about how to find some of the less visited sites and learn more about the lifestyle and culture, and watch traditions in action. This book suggests that you set up a base and live in a Tuscan hill town, if only for a few days. Here you discover the hill town of Arezzo, about 60 km southeast of Florence. Arezzo is large enough to have a lot to offer and small enough to maintain its age old traditions.
This guide provides you with traditional information and with bonus material so you can . . .

• cook with authentic recipes from my Italian cousins,
• learn about the culture from stories about traveling in Tuscany,
• find a place to stay with information on an agriturismo, a hotel, and a B&B,
• find good restaurants and pizzerias,
• use GPS coordinates to find your way around,
• order a caffè in a bar,
• participate in the evening passeggiata and local Saturday market,
• eat at the best osteria in Arezzo, La Capannaccia,
• get an idea on the mobile accessibility of sites

Advantages of Arezzo

Location. Arezzo is nicely located for getting further into Tuscany. It's a short 45 minute train ride to Florence; 30 minutes by car from Cortona; 60 minutes from the Val d'Orcia where many of the calendar page Tuscany lives; and 90 minutes from the wine region of Chianti. Nearby is Ponte Buriano, the bridge in the background of the Mona Lisa.

Good Size. Arezzo is large enough to have a lot to offer in terms of culture, churches, museums, art, hotels, and restaurants; yet small enough to maintain age old traditions like closing for lunch, the evening passeggiata, Saturday markets, and Medieval festivals.

Less Expensive. With Florence only 45 minutes away by train, you can stay in Arezzo for less. Moderately priced hotels and agriturismos abound, along with excellent restaurants.

Art Treasures. The Basilica di San Francesco houses Piero della Francesca's greatest work, The Legend of the True Cross. You can find works by many of the great Renaissance artists, e.g., Spinello, della Robbia, Vasari, and Marcillat, in the churches and the State Museum of Medieval and Modern Art.

Festivals and Markets. Arezzo hosts a monthly Antique Fair, considered by many the most important in Italy with over 200 dealers winding all around the old city center. Twice a year the four neighborhoods compete in the Joust of the Saracino, complete with full Medieval regalia. Every evening the locals walk up and down Corso Italia in the passeggiata to visit with friends before dinner. Saturday mornings are for the large open air market selling everything from food to shoes to toys to kitchen wares.

Review
We went to Arezzo a few years ago, but this time, armed with guidebook we visited again. I wanted to let you know how helpful the book was. I had not noticed the bas-reliefs on the barrel vault of the main door of Pieve Santa Maria or visited the Museo Ivan Bruschi before, let alone the Telecommunications Museum which, like you, we stumbled on unexpectedly.

I was delighted to find your book on the area on Amazon before our visit earlier this month.

I just finished your book and wanted to tell you I enjoyed it very much. I am planning to go to the Tuscany area next June for a wedding and it gave me a lot of usual information. Because of your book I plan on setting up shop in Arezzo for a few days.

Inside Tuscany Travel Principles

Principle 1: Go slow and easy. Plan to return.
Slow travel is where it's at. Focus on a few things in depth rather than many things lightly. Rushing from one place to another for 10 to 20 minutes gets in the way of true appreciation of the culture. You have to believe that you will return and that quantity of sites doesn't equal quality of trip.

Principle 2: Adapt and learn new things.
Trying new things leads to adventures and stories that you'll never forget. Remember that it is not our hosts' responsibility to make things "just like home" -- give up the catsup -- it's our responsibility to enjoy the differences and to make their home ours.

Principle 3: Travel cheap.
Expensive chain four-star hotels and tourist-based restaurants shelter you from the local people, culture, and best food. They prey upon your insecurities. (The number of stars in a hotel's name relates to how many services the hotel provides, not cleanliness.) Take a leap: use the one, two, or three star hotels and look for the less expensive restaurants where locals eat. So what if the menu is not in English -- go for it. The fewer euros you spend, the more you need to interact with people, and the more you interact, the more fun you have. It costs nothing to join the evening passeggiata, but it is an unforgettable experience.

Principle 4: Come to "tour" and to "live."
When touring, do everything you can to live there. Put your clothes in the drawers, closets, and wardrobes -- even just for a couple of nights. Walk slowly through the streets, look for restaurants to visit. Shop for meats, cheeses, and wines for a picnic. Look around and tell yourself, "I live here." Use a base to reduce wasted time moving from place-to-place and to get to know a place well.

Principle 5: Put your camera -- and cell phone -- down and look around.
Pictures are nice -- memories are better. It's a richer experience to see through your naked eyes rather than a viewfinder. If you want pictures, look with your eyes first and save it in your memory. Don't wait to see your vacation until you watch the video at home or on YouTube.

Principle 6: Fly under the radar.
We Americans often shock our hosts because we are loud in voice and dress. You'll never hide your tourist status or that you are an American -- nor should you -- but you can fly under the radar. Leave your baseball caps at home. Locals don't wear T-shirts with advertising. Be humble and respectful in actions and dress appropriately to earn our hosts' respect and gratitude. A little enthusiasm for their culture and listening wins people over.

Principle 7: Does €25.00 really matter?
Money flows like water while traveling and it's possible to get too obsessed by it. You may decide to forgo a restaurant meal for a couple of pizzas and drinks for €25.00. A three-course meal for two at an authentic local restaurant might cost you €50.00. One month later, when you are home, will you really worry about that €25.00? Or, will you wish that you'd tried that restaurant?

Principle 8: Pack light, walk easy.
No one ever returns home from a trip and says, "I wish I'd packed more." I live out of a carry-on for three months. You want to be flexible and able to travel quickly without dragging 100 pounds of large suitcases to the hotel. Lay everything out on the bed before you leave and put half of it away -- then do it again. Remember, you'll probably never see those people again and they don't care whether you've worn the same shirt and pants five days in a row. Take light clothes that you can wash easily in the sink and that will dry fast -- I've learned to leave my cotton knit shirts and jeans home.
