Arezzo

Arezzo Principal town of the province, Arezzo's territory is very large. About the origin of the city, we can say that it was settled in a pre-etruscan period, in a place that was already populated in the Palaeolithic age (near to the city has been found the " Man of Olmo ", of that period). Then, Arezzo become Etruscan; we've got many art works and important objects about this period, such as the famous " Chimera ". In the IIIrd century a.D. the city was conquered by Romans, that called it Arretium; the city become an important centre for ceramics and metal works. In the IVth century, Arezzo become an Episcopal seat: Bishop, during middle age, built many buildings that still exists (For example: the Cathedral and the Pieve of Santa Maria). When in 1289 Arezzo's Bishop was killed during a battle, the control of the city went to the noble family Tarlati da Pietramala. In 1384 Arezzo happen to fall into the influence of Florence, and entered the Granducato di Toscana (Grand duchy of Tuscny). So it happened that when the Grand Duchy become part of the Kingdom of Italy, Arezzo made it too. After that, thanks to the drain of Val di Chiana swamp, Arezzo become one of the most used and important ways between Florence and Rome.
