Undiscovered Arezzo, Medieval town in the South of Tuscany
Arezzo is a very nice town in the south of Tuscany not yet known by massive tourism. The town was very important during Medieval times and competed with Siena and Florence for the control of central Italy and especially for the Tuscan region. Many Italian artists were born in this town and many of them lived there like Vasari and Petrarca. Vasari developed many important architectural projects for Arezzo and the Pope. Petrarca with Dante and Boccaccio are the funders of itlian lenguage.
Arezzo is also a town where you can still have nice meals for a very affordable price, not only outside the historic center, but also in the city center. In the main square there are a couple of very good and inexpensive restaurants like le "Loggie del Vasari" restaurant.
Every Saturday there is a big and important antiquites market that is worth a visit.
